Apply for a loan with repayment subsidy for high-efficiency systems or gensets

Service Description

If you invest in highly efficient systems and units, you can apply for a loan with a repayment subsidy under certain conditions.

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) promotes measures to increase energy efficiency in companies.
You can receive funding for the following measures:

  • Electric motors and drives,
  • Pumps for industrial and commercial applications
  • fans,
  • Compressed air systems and their higher-level control systems
  • Systems for waste heat recovery or heat recovery from waste water,
  • Insulation of industrial systems or system components,
  • frequency converters.

You will not receive funding

  • for measures prescribed by law,
  • if you have already started the measure before submitting the application.

If you want to purchase systems or units for energy efficiency, you can get a loan of up to EUR 25 million.
The amount of the subsidy for the repayment of the loan depends on the size of your company:

  • small and medium-sized enterprises (up to 249 employees and annual turnover not exceeding EUR 50 million or balance sheet total not exceeding EUR 43 million): 40 percent of the eligible costs,
  • large companies (250 and more employees and annual turnover of more than EUR 50 million or a balance sheet total of more than EUR 43 million): 30 percent of the eligible costs.

Eligible costs are

  • All costs for the implementation of the measure,
  • ancillary costs for planning and installation.

With this funding, the eligible ancillary costs are limited to a maximum of 30 percent of the investment costs.
You can receive a maximum repayment grant of EUR 200,000.
You will only receive the repayment grant once you have completed your measure. To do this, you must prove

  • that you have spent the money from the loan on the measure,
  • that the measure technically fulfills its purpose.

You must keep all invoices and receipts relating to the eligible costs.
Applications for funding are processed by the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).
You have no claim to approval of the funding.

Reference to further funding opportunities of the program:
You can also apply for a direct grant from the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) via the funding program "Federal Funding for Energy Efficiency in the Economy" (apply for a grant for highly efficient systems or units).


Process flow

You must submit the application for funding in writing to the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).

  • You first need a financing partner, through whom you then submit your application to KfW. A financing partner can be a bank, building society or financial intermediary.
  • Select your financing partner and make an appointment for a consultation. If you are looking for a financing partner, you can use the online consultation request on the KfW website.
  • During the consultation, your financing partner will check whether your planned measure meets all the requirements and whether you are creditworthy.
  • You complete the loan application together with your financing partner. Your financing partner will inform you which other forms and documents you need for your application.
  • Your financing partner submits the completed loan application to KfW. KfW checks your application and decides on the funding.
  • You will then receive notification from your financing partner as to whether your loan with repayment subsidy will be approved.
  • Conclude the loan agreement with your financing partner and start the project. KfW will pay you the loan amount in full.
  • Once you have completed the measure, you must prove to your financing partner
    • that you have spent the money from the loan on the measure and
    • a confirmation from the manufacturer or supplier that your measure technically meets the performance requirements (specialist contractor declaration).
  • You submit this evidence to your financing partner.
  • Your financing partner checks and confirms your evidence and forwards it to KfW.
  • If KfW has also checked the evidence, you will receive the repayment subsidy as a credit note.

Please note:
