Funding
Public funding that lowers your equity commitment.
Public funding is a core building block of project financing. We combine BAFA, KfW and state programs to raise the funding rate and tie up less of your own capital: from eligibility check to disbursement.
- BAFA and KfW funding for demanding energy retrofit and transformation projects
- Combining several funding programs to noticeably reduce the equity commitment
- Grants as a lever for better financing terms and lower total cost
- Funding advice for industrial waste heat and local energy supply
The Funding Dossier.
Institutional sovereignty is achieved through access to validated sector coupling pathways and rigorous strategic modeling.
Strategic Value Levers
BAFA/KfW Optimization
Targeted control and evidence-backed execution to maximize returns and mitigate portfolio risks.
Subsidy Stacking
Targeted control and evidence-backed execution to maximize returns and mitigate portfolio risks.
Capital-Cost Reduction
Targeted control and evidence-backed execution to maximize returns and mitigate portfolio risks.
Decision Scenarios
"Use of standard KfW rates without stacking optimization."

Risk Remediation.
Tightened criteria for energy-efficiency retrofits make access to top funding rates harder.
Early alignment of the planning with the applicable efficiency requirements.
Short-notice halts of funding programs endanger project liquidity.
Early securing of binding funding commitments.
Which funding fits your project?
Funding programmes do not follow a pure industry principle, but measure type, energy consumption, building status and proof capability. Without systematic pre-assessment, funding paths remain invisible, or become unusable through wrong sequencing, missing documentation or cumulation errors. Our calculators translate this logic into concrete, verifiable paths.
All results are indicative and do not replace individual case assessment. Funding rates and thresholds are subject to ongoing changes.
Systematically to the right funding path
Each calculator addresses a different perspective on funding, relief and obligations. Start where your greatest leverage lies.
Find Your Profile
Select the scenario closest to your situation - we'll show the right entry point.
Electricity tax relief under § 9b, EEW modules for compressed air, process heat and control systems, potentially BECV carbon leakage aid.
Three levers: electricity tax relief, funding for ovens/cooling (EEW) and building funding for bakehouse and branches (BEG).
Two levels: owner funds envelope/heating (BEG), operator optimises cooling systems and controls (EEW). Avoid funding collisions.
BEG NWG and KfW 263 for efficiency building standards, BEG-EM for individual measures, BEW for district solutions. ESG pressure as investment driver.
Surcharge limitation (EnFG), carbon leakage aid (BECV), EEW modules for decarbonisation. Management system as prerequisite.
PUE targets, renewable electricity quotas, waste heat obligations. Funding for waste heat and network connection (BEW). Connect compliance with funding optimisation.
Combination of BEG WG/EM, tax incentives (§ 35c EStG) and subsidised energy consulting (EBW/iSFP). Mind the interactions.
Above certain energy thresholds, audits or management systems become mandatory. The analyses are springboards for funded projects.
BEW for transformation plans, construction and operation of heat networks. BEG NWG/WG for the building side. Minimum 75% RE/waste heat for systemic funding.
Electricity tax relief as a privileged group, EEW for process efficiency, BEG for residential and farm buildings, BEW for waste heat feed-in.
What the calculators deliver, and what not
Indicative mapping
Rule-based initial assessment based on current funding landscape
Multi-dimensional check
Building, energy, measure, actor and company size are considered
Orientation, not commitment
Results do not replace individual assessment or binding funding commitment
What we deliberately do not state statically
- Specific funding rates, maximum amounts and budget availability
- Detailed interpretation of disputed legal terms
- Temporary relief rates and transition regimes
- Sector lists and compensation grades under BECV/EnFG
- EU-driven omnibus and CSRD follow-up regulations
Instead, we rely on indicative assessment promises and process expertise. All calculator results are starting points for individual consulting.
Unsure which check is right?
The complexity of the funding landscape is intentional - it differentiates by measure, not by industry. Without pre-assessment, the right programmes remain invisible. Upload your consumption data or energy certificate. We indicatively classify your project and recommend suitable funding paths.
