(1 January 2022 – 31 December 2027)
The European Commission under Decision SA.106697, amending Decision SA.100752, has increased the aid intensities for the geographical areas of the national territory that can benefit from public funding in the field of Regional Development, including under the Just Transition Fund.
The Table below identifies and reflects the maximum rates of public funding, updated by the aforementioned Decision SA.106697, based on the geographic location area of investment in the national territory and size of the beneficiary (small, medium or large enterprise within the meaning of Recommendation 2003/361/EC).
These maximum aid intensities apply to publicly funded investment projects approved under the Guidelines on Regional Aid, as well as to regional investment and operating aid, granted under Articles 13 to 15 of the General Block Exemption Regulation, and to aid intensity increases detailed in the Regulation for other types of investment depending on the geographic location of the investment (Zones “A” and “C” of the Portuguese territory).
The maximum funding rates that have been increased may be applied to State aid applications submitted by project promoters after the date of approval of the aforementioned Decision of 27 April 2023 by the European Commission.
