Funding

The operating costs of the National Emergency Supply Agency (NESA) and the administrative costs of its sectors and pools are financed from the national budget (approximately €25 million per year).

Operational measures for security of supply are financed by the National Emergency Supply Fund, which is managed by the NESA. The National Emergency Supply Fund’s revenue comes from the strategic stockpile fee, which is mainly collected from electricity consumption in society.

The funds of the National Emergency Supply Fund are fully channelled into operational preparedness work.

The total revenue from the strategic stockpile fee is estimated to be approximately €66 million in 2026. With the new Security of Supply Act, the fee will be increased so that in 2027 the revenue would be approximately €92 million. This will facilitate a more effective response to the deteriorating security environment and contemporary preparedness requirements.

The National Emergency Supply Fund covers material preparedness costs and investments, security of supply measures related to programme activities and the costs of crisis measures. The Fund can also cover the interest costs of the emergency stockpiling of grains and cyber security measures essential for security of supply.

The balance of the National Emergency Supply Fund is approximately €2 billion, most of which is tied up in emergency stockpiles. By permission of the Government and according to terms set by it, up to €600 million in loans can be taken out for the National Emergency Supply Fund.
