The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) promotes measures to increase energy efficiency.
You can receive a grant of up to EUR 48,000 for the following measures:
- Energy-efficient renovation of your residential building to a KfW Efficiency House.
If you buy refurbished housing, the costs of the energy refurbishment can also be subsidized. For this purpose, these costs must be shown separately (for example, in the purchase contract).
You will not receive any subsidies
- if the building application for your building or apartment was submitted after January 31, 2002,
- for personal contributions,
- for vacation homes, vacation apartments and weekend homes,
- for follow-up financing of projects that have already been started or completed,
- for photovoltaic systems,
- if you have already started the building project before submitting the application.
There is a benchmark for energy-efficient buildings, the KfW efficiency house standard. The lower the number, the more efficient your house is and the less energy you need.
