Funding opportunities for energy management systems – How you can benefit from government support
Use government subsidies for your investment in energy efficiency
The introduction of an energy management system not only brings direct savings in energy costs, but is also often financially supported by government funding programs. Companies that want to improve their energy efficiency can benefit from numerous funding opportunities specifically aimed at facilitating investment in modern energy management systems.
What funding opportunities are there?
There are various government funding programs aimed at the introduction, optimization and operation of energy management systems. In Germany in particular, the BAFA (Federal Office of Economics and Export Control) funding is an attractive option for companies. It offers financial support for the introduction and certification of energy management systems as well as for investments in efficiency measures.
2. Who is eligible for funding? Companies from almost all sectors can benefit from the funding programs. Those particularly eligible for funding are: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs): These companies often receive higher funding rates and benefit from special programs tailored to their needs. Industrial companies: Companies with high energy consumption, such as production companies, can benefit particularly strongly from the efficiency measures. Agricultural companies: There are also attractive funding opportunities in the agricultural sector for the introduction of energy management systems that optimize energy consumption and integrate renewable energies.
3. Which costs are funded? The funding programs cover a wide range of costs that arise in connection with the introduction and optimization of energy management systems. These include: Hardware and software: measuring devices, meters and IT systems for analyzing and controlling energy consumption. Control and regulation technology: This also includes the purchase or renewal of a PLC (programmable logic controller), which is used to intelligently control and regulate your energy flows. This technology enables efficient automation of processes and helps to reduce energy consumption. Consultancy costs: costs for external energy consultants who support the introduction and optimization of the energy management system. Certification costs: costs for certification according to ISO 50001 or similar standards. Education and training: costs for training the employees who operate and monitor the energy management system.

1. Funding programs 1. BAFA funding for energy management systems The BAFA supports companies in the introduction and implementation of energy management systems in accordance with ISO 50001. Funding is provided not only for the purchase and installation of the systems, but also for the associated consulting and certification costs. Eligible measures: Introduction of energy management systems, certification in accordance with ISO 50001, monitoring and measuring devices, software for analysis and control. Funding level: Funding is up to 45% of the eligible costs for small companies and up to 40% for medium-sized companies, but a maximum of 20,000 euros for small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) and 10,000 euros for large companies. 2. KfW funding In addition to the BAFA, the KfW Bank offers funding for companies that invest in energy efficiency measures through various programs. These programs aim to reduce energy costs through the use of modern technology and reduce environmental pollution. Eligible measures: Investments in energy management systems, energy-efficient systems and machines, optimization of energy distribution. Combination options: In many cases, KfW funding can be combined with BAFA funding to achieve maximum funding. 3. EU funding programs For larger investments or companies that operate in several European countries, EU funding programs may also be an option. These programs offer support for investments in renewable energies, energy efficiency and climate protection measures. Eligible projects: Introduction of energy management systems, energy-efficient technologies, projects to reduce CO₂. Funding level: The funding level varies depending on the project and the country in which the investment is made.
