Bafa funding for heat pumps will be discontinued as of 31.12.2020.

A lot of people are getting very hectic right now. But where does it say that heat pumps are no longer supposed to be subsidized for new buildings? In the FAQ, regarding the question of what is eligible for BEG EM funding, it says:

As part of BEG EM, from 01.01.2021 the following individual measures are subsidized with the following grants:

[*]Measures on the building envelope (e.g. insulation of exterior walls, roof surfaces, replacement of doors and windows): 20 percent
[*]System technology (e.g. installation and replacement or optimization of ventilation systems, installation of digital systems for consumption optimization): 20 percent
[*]Renewable energies for heating (e.g. heat pumps, biomass systems, hybrid heating systems or solar thermal systems): 20 to 45 percent
[*]Measures for heating optimization (e.g. hydraulic balancing including replacement of heating pumps): 20 percent
[*]Specialist planning and construction supervision in connection with an individual measure: 50 percent

and also regarding the question whether anything changes in the conditions:

The funding program "Heating with Renewable Energies" at BAFA, through which parts of the Market Incentive Program (MAP) are implemented, will be discontinued at the end of 2020 and replaced by the new Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings (BEG), there the BEG EM subprogram, with the same subsidy rates.

Nowhere does it say that new buildings are no longer eligible for funding in relation to renewable energies for heating? Can someone please clarify for me where I can find the information that energy-efficient heating systems in new buildings are supposed to be excluded from funding?

or can be newly created

I could still create anew. I haven't found any information that it's not allowed. However, I also didn't click through the forms to the end.

Does anyone know by how many months the deadline will be extended? Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything about it in the info sheet... :/

It says on the BAFA homepage:

"If necessary, the approval period can be extended once by an additional 12 months. The informal written request for extension must be made within the approval period specified in the grant notification. After this deadline, any further extension is excluded."

New buildings are no longer supposed to be subsidized?

This can be inferred from the "individual measures."
Many energy consulting sites interpret it this way as well.
Therefore, BEG EM is apparently not intended to apply to new buildings.

You are discussing a lot about BEG EM = EM = individual measures. From mid-2021 onwards, BEG WG = new construction will be on the agenda. Then as a grant or loan option. Then also the heat pump. In the EM variant for new construction, clearly no longer as an individual measure.

: Thanks for your interjection. What does that practically mean in your opinion for the new buildings? Will I still get a corresponding 35% subsidy next year for an actually eligible heating system? Just from a different fund? Or, in your opinion and according to your information, will it completely fall through?
