From 2024, changes in the area of energy saving will come into force. The energy advice service of the consumer advice center points this out. One major change is the amendment to the Building Energy Act (GEG). From January 1, 2024, new buildings in new development areas must install heating systems that use at least 65% renewable energy. For existing buildings outside of new development areas or when replacing heating systems, residents will be given slightly more time - in large cities until June 30, 2026 and in smaller municipalities until June 30, 2028. However, the obligation will take effect sooner if the expansion of a local heating or hydrogen network has already been decided.
The innovations in the GEG include various options for the use of renewable energies: electrically powered heat pumps, biomass heating, district heating, gas or oil heating with a share of at least 65% biomethane or bio-oil as well as combinations of gas, oil or biomass heating with heat pumps or solar thermal systems. Pure oil or gas heating systems may still be installed in 2024, but must generate a certain proportion of heating energy from biomass or hydrogen from 2029, which will increase to 60 percent by 2040.
Die Förderungen für Heizungsaustausche und Sanierungen werden erhöht, einschließlich eines „Speedbonus“ für schnell umgesetzte Projekte und spezieller Boni für einkommensschwache Haushalte. Ab März 2024 gelten auch höhere Effizienzanforderungen für Haushaltsgeräte wie Kühlschränke und Waschmaschinen. Weitere Änderungen umfassen unter anderem die steigenden CO2-Preise, die zu höheren Kosten für Heizöl und Erdgas führen. Eine Erhöhung um 10 Euro pro Tonne CO2 erhöht den Erdgaspreis um etwa 0,2 Cent pro kWh. Weitere Änderungen finden Interessenten auf: verbraucherzentrale-energieberatung.de.
