(2024) What is the funding amount for energy-efficient building renovation?

The funding can be claimed for several individual measures, which can be carried out independently of each other.

For individual measures in energy-efficient building renovation, 20% of the expenses (max. 40,000 Euro per residential property) are eligible.

The funding is spread over three years. In the calendar year of completion of the energy measure and in the following calendar year, 7% of the expenses (max. 14,000 Euro annually) can be deducted from the tax liability, and in the third year, a further 6% of the expenses (max. 12,000 Euro).

For energy-related construction supervision and specialist planning, 50% of the costs incurred are deductible. You can find professionally qualified energy consultants for the planning and supervision of energy renovation projects throughout Germany at, among others, www.energie-effizienz-experten.de.

The funding can be claimed by a large number of homeowners. The tax incentive came into effect on 1 January 2020. The deduction is made directly from the individual tax liability.
