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

Notification just flew in. They probably still have a lot of applications from December to process in January ;)

Definitely. And they can just change mine from air-water heat pump to ground-water heat pump at the same time ;)
A somewhat more coordinated switch in July would have saved a lot of stress and precautionary applications.

I received the notification on Thu, submitted on 13.12 with the calculation from the GU. I had expected a significantly longer time :) For me, it’s about €14,400, which will immediately be invested in a proper carport.

Also received a positive decision on 23.01, submitted on 11.12.2020. Actually expected a longer waiting time.

On 16.12. I applied, on 26.01. the notification also arrived here. I have used up the €50,000 without sending an offer. If one is required, then my general contractor will... pragmatically solve it.

It's the same for me.

However, the approval notice is de facto only provisional. You will only receive the payment once you submit the necessary documents. (Annual performance factor calculation, commissioning the execution,...) So you definitely still have to submit something.

Also received the approval. However, construction will probably not start until about August. I will fix the financing with the old KFW before July and am still wondering when I should extend BAFA? It is currently valid until January '22, but it probably won't be finished by then. You will still be able to extend it despite the expiry, right?
