Traffic light factions specify funding for heating replacement

Berlin The parliamentary groups of SPD, Greens and FDP have specified their plans on how to promote the switch to climate-friendly heating systems. The maximum eligible investment costs for replacing the heating system should be 30,000 euros for single-family houses. At the top, up to 70 percent of the costs are covered, so the maximum funding is 21,000 euros. For apartment buildings, the eligible investment costs are 30,000 euros for the first residential unit, for the second to sixth residential units 10,000 euros each and from the seventh residential unit 3000 euros each.

This emerges from the draft of the three government factions for a motion for a resolution on the Building Energy Act (GEG), which is to be passed by the Bundestag on Friday. In the application, the traffic light groups call on the federal government to submit a funding concept and to finance it “as before permanently – even beyond the period of the current financial planning – exclusively from funds from the Climate and Transformation Fund (KTF)”.
