The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) promotes measures to increase energy efficiency in companies.
You can receive a grant of up to EUR 34,300 if you install fuel cell heating systems in your new or existing building. The fuel cell heating systems must meet the following technical requirements:
-
Power consumption at least P = 0.25 kilowatts electrical (kWe)
and - maximum power consumption P = 5.0 kilowatts electrical (kWe).
You will not receive a subsidy:
- for fiduciary constructions (with the exception of homeowners' associations),
- for so-called in-sure transactions, such as the purchase from the property of a life partner or asset transfers between companies,
- if you have already started the measure before you have submitted the application.
The amount of the grant depends on the performance of your fuel cell. The grant is made up of
-
the fixed amount (basic grant) of EUR 6,800
and - the power-dependent amount (additional subsidy) of EUR 550.00 per 100 watts of electrical power or part thereof.
You can receive a maximum of 40 percent of the eligible costs as a subsidy.
Eligible costs are
- all costs for the installation of the fuel cell heating system,
- the costs of the full maintenance contract for the first ten years,
- the costs for the services of an energy efficiency expert.
You will only receive the grant once you have completed your measure. To do this, you must prove
- that you have installed the fuel cell heating system,
- that your fuel cell heating system meets the technical requirements.
You must keep all invoices and receipts relating to the eligible costs.
Applications for funding are processed by the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).
You have no claim to approval of the funding.
