**EUR 38 million** represents the **total budget** set aside for the “*Promoting clean energy and energy efficiency in order to support the economy with lower carbon emissions*” programme. The objective is to fund **projects that will implement smart energy metering systems for households**.

The programme will begin in **January 2016** and it will be a programme with **continuous submissions** for projects.

**Maximum value of a grant** awarded for a project is **EUR 5,000,000**, and the **eligible costs** of the project (including VAT) **cannot exceed EUR 50,000,000 or its equivalent in lei**.

This call for submissions within the “Large Infrastructure Operational Programme” will fund costs that mainly involve investments in:

- Developing **smart metering systems** for electricity (metering subsystems, information transmission subsystems, meter information management subsystems);
- **The modernisation/refurbishment of the low/medium voltage distribution grid** to ensure optimal conditions for developing smart metering systems;
- Other activities which are absolutely necessary so as to implement the smart metering systems.

**The eligible applicants** are **distribution operators acting under a public service concession for electricity**, which are obligated to install 80% of the smart meters until 2020
