Maximize Your Savings with Luxembourg’s KlimaBonus Program!

The Environment Agency (Administration de l’Environnement – AEV) offers subsidies for projects that aim to use energy more efficiently and promote renewable energy sources.

These subsidies, known as ‘Klimabonus Luxembourg’ subsidies, are financial aids for covering the investment and installation costs of various systems including:

  • Solar thermal systems
  • Solar photovoltaic systems
  • Heat pumps, hybrid heat pumps, or hybrid systems including a heat pump
  • Wood-fueled boilers and particulate filters
  • The development of a heating network and/or connection to a heating network

These subsidies are applicable to both renovation projects and new constructions. They can also be requested independently of these projects.

Applicants should consult the communal administration in the area of the building to determine if a building permit is necessary.

Klimabonus aid is granted only once for each technical installation.

Who is concerned for klimabonus program?

Any individual, residing in Luxembourg, seeking to enhance their home’s energy efficiency, whether it’s a single-family house or a multi-unit dwelling, can apply for financial aid. Eligible applicants include:

  • Natural persons (individuals)
  • Legal entities established under private law
  • Public legal entities, excluding the State

Applications can be made by:

  • A legal representative of a group of natural or legal persons, provided you are a member of that group
  • The owner(s) of the property, except in cases of ownership transfer where the new owner of the property and/or technical installation renounces the aid, allowing the previous owner who made the investments to benefit from it.

Klimabonus Aid: Eligibility for Installations and Residences

The Klimabonus aid is specifically for residential buildings in Luxembourg. It does not cover:

  • Used (second-hand) systems
  • The exchange, replacement, or repair of a system part that isn’t independently functional

Systems that received financial aid under the 2012 or 2017 schemes are not eligible.

Klimabonus Requirements:

  • From 7 kW the connection to the Smart Meter is a requirement of the grid operator.
  • In the case of a building with at least four parking spaces, only OCPP charging stations version 1.6 or later are eligible.
  • With my OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) intelligent charging station, the communication between the charging station and a central management system is possible. This allows any type or model of charging station to be integrated into an intelligent charging management system.
  • The network manager can also intervene in case of an emergency to manage the power and temporarily reduce it or disactivate the charging station in order to avoid general failures due to network overload and thus avoid damage (e.g. failure of sensitive infrastructures such as freezers).
