Federal funding for efficient buildings (BEG) from Q1 2021

So it must also be applied for through the bank?

Grants have always been applied for directly by the customer through the KfW portal. This is no different now. For our customers, we apply for loans; as mentioned, we are not allowed to apply for grants. But that makes sense, since the bank has nothing to do with that.

Subsidies have always been applied for directly by the customer via the KfW portal. This is no different now. For our customers, we apply for loans; as mentioned, we are not allowed to apply for subsidies. But that makes sense, since the bank has nothing to do with that.

Even the subsidies that now exist with KfW 55, for example?

Also the subsidies that are now available with kfw 55, for example?

ALL subsidies. What do the builders do otherwise who do not need a bank and build only with equity capital? It is indeed like that, you have to apply for all subsidy variants, old and new, yourself. Only the loans are processed through a bank as a forwarding institution. But I can take a worry off your mind. Applying for the subsidy takes at most 5-10 minutes. I have had to do it myself for my renovation as someone affected (I also do not take a loan, only the subsidy). So I know both sides – bank and customer.

Today I submitted the application for the grant option (461) through the energy consultant and immediately received the application confirmation, so now delivery and service contracts can be signed. I would not have expected it to go so quickly. It took weeks for the BAFA application.

How did you get the confirmation for the application (BZA) ID from the energy consultant?
Did you commission him separately beforehand?
Because actually he is not allowed to start working before KfW has approved the application.

How did you get the confirmation for the application (BZA)-ID from the energy consultant?
Did you commission him separately beforehand?
Because actually, he is not allowed to start working before Kfw has approved the application.

An energy consultant is like an architect or similar, not the start of the project (performance and supply contracts).

Is automatically applied for when the corresponding costs are stated in the confirmation of the application (BZA). Just make sure to check. The approval then contains two grants.
