The cost of the investment has been revised from the previous EUR 3.7 million to EUR 5.2 million. Originally, Apetit has been granted an investment aid for project based on renewable energy from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland’s in August 2018. The total amount of investment aid has now been increased to about EUR 490,000 to reflect the adjusted costs of the project.
