Higher subsidies for heating with renewable energy
17.03.2015

Improved support by new Market Incentive Program

From April this year, both German future owners of ground-coupled heat pump systems in one- and two-family houses, as operators of commercial heat pump systems can benefit from higher government subsidies. This is ensured by the entry into force of an amendment of the German „Richtlinien zur Förderung von Maßnahmen zur Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien im Wärmemarkt” (guidelines for the promotion of measures for the use of renewable energies in the heating market) to the 01.04.2015.

So receive future owners of geothermal heat pump systems, for example, a grant of at least 4,000 instead of the previous 2,800 Euros. Also air heat pumps are promoted. The SmartHeat Deutschland GmbH manufactures products for the use in the most diverse, even unconventional sources systems.

The novel offers small and medium companies as well as large enterprises a range of possible loan and repayment subsidies, as well as benefits depending on the application. Here, the market incentive program focuses on the construction of systems to produce renewable generated heat in existing buildings. Particularly innovative solutions are encouraged for new buildings. SmartHeat heat pumps offer solutions for a variety of applications.

The eligibility criteria and other details of the revised guidelines can be downloaded here and read about in detail. Here is a summary of the funding opportunities¹⁾.
