The Conto Termico 3.0 is the new incentive to improve the energy efficiency of homes and buildings, reduce consumption and invest in renewable sources. With the approval of the new decree by the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security, the mechanism has been enhanced and made more accessible, becoming a strategic tool for 2026.
The Conto Termico represents one of the most important measures to reduce energy expenditures, cut emissions, contain the cost of energy and accompany citizens, businesses and public entities toward a more efficient and sustainable energy model.
What is Conto Termico 3.0 and what it changes from the past
The Conto Termico 3.0 is a non-repayable incentive, disbursed by the Energy Services Manager, dedicated to interventions of energy efficiency and of thermal energy production from renewable sources.
In today's environment of high energy prices, price instability, and increasingly stringent decarbonization goals, the Conto Termico 3.0 confirms itself as a tool destined to remain central for those who want to Invest in clean energy, improve the energy efficiency of buildings and structurally reduce consumption.
Compared with the previous Conto Termico 2.0, the new decree introduces substantial improvements:
- Coverage of expenses up to 65%, which can reach up to the 100% In specific cases (public buildings located in municipalities of up to 15,000 inhabitants, schools, hospitals and public health facilities)
- New types of interventions eligible for incentives
- Updating of expenditure ceilings, aligned with real market costs
- Simplified procedures, with faster access to incentives
- Expansion of beneficiaries, including Third Sector entities, tertiary sector, and Renewable Energy Communities
The financial allocation is significant: 900 million a year, of which 500 million earmarked for individuals e 400 million to public administrations, ensuring continuity for the instrument even in the regulatory framework that will accompany the sector until the 2026 and beyond.
Who is eligible for the Conto Termico 3.0
One of the main new features concerns the expansion of the pool of beneficiaries. Eligible for the incentives are:
- private citizens
- enterprises and tertiary sector
- Public Administrations
- third sector entities
- Renewable Energy Communities (RECs)
- configurations of collective self-consumption
The decree clarifies and expands the scope of buildings involved:
- residential buildings (with some cadastral exclusions)
- private non-residential buildings (sheds, warehouses, commercial facilities)
- public buildings (schools, hospitals and health facilities)
Special attention to public buildings located in Municipalities up to 15,000 inhabitants, for which, under specific conditions, the incentive can go up to cover the 100% of eligible expenses.
Incentive interventions: efficiency, renewables and full electric
The new Conto Termico 3.0 incentivizes a wide range of interventions designed to renovate buildings and housing turning them into models that are always More efficient, sustainable and renewable energy oriented.
Energy efficiency interventions eligible for incentives (Art. 5)
Interventions on the envelope and systems, such as:
- insulation termico of opaque structures
- replacement of window frames and transparent closures
- sunscreens and shading systems
- Replacement of lighting systems with high-efficiency technologies
- systems of building automation conform to European standards
- transformation projects in NZEB buildings (near-zero energy)
Thermal energy production from renewable sources (Art. 8)
The Conto Termico 3.0 strongly incentivizes thermal energy production from renewable sources, including:
- heat pumps electric, geothermal and hybrid
- biomass boilers (wood, pellets, wood chips) with 5-star environmental certification
- solar thermal and solar cooling
- efficient district heating systems
The big news: photovoltaics, storage and electricity columns
One of the most relevant innovations of the Conto Termico 3.0 concerns the possibility of incentives:
- photovoltaic systems with storage systems
- charging stations for electric vehicles
These interventions are allowed if they are carried out in conjunction with the Replacement of the heating system with electric heat pumps, encouraging the dissemination of solutions full electric and energy autonomy of homes.
Conto Termico and immediate bill discount: the role of Energy Saving
One of the most interesting aspects of the Conto Termico 3.0 is the possibility of obtaining an economic benefit without having to wait years as is the case with tax deductions. In many cases, it is possible to drastically reduce the initial investment thanks to the immediate invoice discount.
Umbria, Energy Saving represents one of the most structured companies able to offer this service. With more than 28 years of experience in the design and installation of systems powered by renewable sources, it follows the client at every stage:
- Building inspection and consumption analysis
- technical design of the intervention
- certified installation
- comprehensive management of GSE practices
- application of the direct invoice discount
This turnkey approach allows households and businesses to access the Conto Termico 3.0 without errors, delays or bureaucratic complexities.
Why take advantage of the Thermal Account in 2026
The Conto Termico 3.0 today represents one of the most effective levers for those who want to take concrete action on the energy efficiency of their home or building, reducing operating costs and investing in high-performance renewable technologies. In territories such as Umbria-where single-family homes, detached houses, rural buildings and tertiary structures often equipped with dated systems are widespread-this incentive offers a real opportunity to renew heating and energy production systems, improving comfort and overall performance.
In fact, the Conto Termico 2026 allows for the following. significantly reduce energy costs, Replace obsolete and inefficient facilities, Integrate renewable sources such as heat pumps, solar thermal, photovoltaics, and storage systems, and at the same time increase the value of the property, making it more modern, efficient and attractive to the market as well.
Rely on specialized entities such as Energy Saving means transforming the incentive into a true redevelopment project: from initial advice to customized design, from complete management of paperwork to installation and assistance over time. An approach that makes it possible to take full advantage of the Conto Termico 3.0, making the investment more secure, sustainable, and future-oriented living.
