Promotion of Sustainable Technologies for Eco-Energy Production and Enhancement of Energy Efficiency

The state of Burgenland supports private owners and tenants of single-family and two-family houses as well as terraced houses with a non-repayable grant of 30% of the eligible costs for the replacement of a heating system at least 15 years old, the installation of thermal solar systems, and rainwater and well water utilization systems. Eligible for funding are heat pumps (ground, water, or air heat pumps), biomass heating systems, district heating connections, and thermal solar systems for hot water preparation or heating support. Defined maximum amounts apply per measure to ensure effective use of public funds. Applications must be submitted within six months of the invoice date or completion notification.

The aim of this initiative is to increase energy efficiency and the use of alternative energy sources in the residential sector to reduce climate-damaging emissions and conserve valuable resources. A prerequisite for funding is proof of ownership or rental entitlement of an eligible building in Burgenland as well as submission of invoices or completion notifications. For application submission, an online form and application forms in PDF or Word format are available. Additionally, an information sheet provides details on the technical and financial aspects. Interested households can find further information at the Office of the Burgenland State Government, Department 9 – Main Division for Housing Subsidies.
