From January 1, 2024, every newly installed heating system must be powered by at least 65% renewable energy. This mandatory switch to renewable energies will also be enshrined in law in a new Building Energy Act. In this context, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK) points out various funding opportunities.
If private owners or small private landlords of up to six residential units have climate-friendly heating installed, they receive a basic subsidy of 30 percent. Additional climate bonuses are also planned. For example, owners who are obliged to replace their heating system and exceed the legal requirements can receive these.
"By redesigning the funding, we are promoting the replacement of heating systems on a broad basis. This is very important because, of course, switching to renewable heating is a big step at first and not easy for many people to shoulder. That's why we're giving people a helping hand and providing support where necessary," said Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection Robert Habeck.
