The cabinet is expanding the scheme once more, because there is a lot of misunderstanding among residents whose homes fall just outside the subsidy area. According to the government, the ‘enclaves or exclaves that are illogical for residents’ will disappear.
Until now, the subsidy scheme on the Drenthe side of the provincial border only applied to Spijkerboor. The scheme is now being extended to Zuidlaarderveen, Nieuw-Annerveen, Oud-Annerveen, Eexterveenschekanaal, Annerveenschekanaal, Nieuwediep and Bareveld. 21 postcodes in the province of Groningen will also be added to the scheme.
With the money, owners of homes can receive money for the purchase of solar panels or insulation, but the subsidy may also be used for, for example, a new bathroom or the installation of a dormer window. A condition is that the house has been delivered before 1 January 2016.
