Description
Infrakredit Energie offers Bavarian municipal administrations as well as their legally dependent municipal enterprises, special-purpose associations, and administrative communities a low-interest loan to finance sustainable infrastructure measures. The goal is a noticeable reduction in energy consumption and the targeted transition to renewable energy sources. Through a cooperation between the LfA Förderbank Bayern and the KfW Banking Group, investment costs are co-financed at 50% up to a maximum of 100% of eligible expenses. The loan framework extends up to €4 million. Applications can be submitted continuously before the start of the measure, ensuring seamless project planning. An expert evaluation by third parties or a detailed project description ensures the traceability of the projected energy savings.
A sustainable economic viability of the investment is a prerequisite for successful approval: For energy-saving projects, an efficiency increase of at least 20% must be demonstrated, while measures for the use of renewable energies must be substantiated by a detailed project description. Excluded are projects with EEG remuneration, energy renovations or new constructions of municipal buildings, as well as the acquisition of land. Furthermore, no ongoing enforcement proceedings may exist, and no economic activity within the meaning of EU state aid law may be present. These clear funding conditions support municipalities in further developing their urban development and digitization strategies in harmony with climate and environmental protection and making them more energy-efficient in the long term.
