Summary of support schemes

The investment support can be accorded for the promotion of renewable energy in child day care centres. Additionally, investment support is available for the owners of small residential houses and apartment buildings for renovation and to enhance the use of renewable energy.   

RES CHP plants are equally eligible for a premium tariff, where the producer receives a bonus on top of the market price, but here the support is allocated according to electricity produced.

Investment supports for private houses are available for the purchasing and installation of geo- and hydrothermal heat pumps. Investment supports for apartment buildings are made available to cover the costs of installing the necessary equipment for the use of RES plants.
