Consequences of the coalition agreement for home builders?

Since when have WB been installed in larger quantities? A lot is probably still going to happen here.

I don't think around 900,000 wallboxes in private households through the Kfw 440 program in Germany within about 1.5 years is exactly a small number.

... in the Gebäudeenergiegesetz, the new building standards will be aligned with the KfW-EH 40 2996 as of January 1, 2025. ...

Do I understand it correctly that from 01.01.25 new buildings will no longer have to comply with the Energy Saving Ordinance but must achieve KfW 40? Will the funding be adjusted accordingly?

I also read it as the requirements increasing significantly and today's KfW40 being intended as the minimum standard. Any adjustment of the funding will surely be decided separately and probably not very soon. That would be too detailed for the coalition agreement.

I personally think that the funding will be scaled back and more money will flow into the renovation of existing buildings. This has already been the case since 2022 (discontinuation of the 55 funding for new buildings, but retention in renovations).

I personally think that the subsidies will be scaled back and more money will flow into existing building renovations.

Objectively, this would also make a lot of sense, because there is much more climate protection potential in existing buildings than in new single-family houses. In case of doubt, fewer single-family houses will be built because they become more expensive, the climate will benefit, but the inclined private homeowner will not.

Bidirectional charging is currently a total disaster. I really see people already driving the electricity several kilometers around (from Aldi, the employer, friends, ...) just to save 30 cents. In the process, at least 10% is lost during charging and another 10% when pulling it out. We really don't have enough renewable energy yet to waste 20%. Only when a lot of regulation and control is put into it can it make sense.
