Overview
Germany is aiming for a share of 20,5 % in the year 2025 and 27 % in the year 2030 of renewable energies in the heating and cooling sector (NECP 2020). Through the KfW and BAFA, several subsidies and low interest loans are granted for installing renewable energy heating and cooling systems. These installments are further subsidized with a tax support scheme.
