I just read these numbers in the press:
"According to the ministry, 24,000 submitted but not yet decided applications are now in limbo. Of these, 20,200 are new buildings according to the Efficiency Standard 55, 3,000 new buildings according to the even more efficient Standard 40, and 700 renovations. In the last two groups, funding is expected to resume shortly under changed conditions. For applicants of an Efficiency House 55, there will only be loans instead of grants."
Funding applications for 700 renovations vs. 24,200 new buildings (of which only 3,000 are KfW40) clearly show the wrong incentives from a climate policy perspective. The same article also mentioned that at the beginning of January, the Federal Ministry of Finance approved an additional 6.6 billion euros - even that amount has already been spent.
