Government Plans Cuts to Support for Climate-Friendly Heating Systems

The federal government has announced plans to reduce state support for the replacement of heating systems. This measure is particularly aimed at saving financial resources and aligning support more closely with social criteria. Higher earners could be particularly affected by these cuts, as access to financial incentives for climate-friendly heating systems may be restricted in the future.

This decision comes in a context where the government is striving to advance the energy transition while also controlling budget expenditures. However, experts warn that reducing financial support for environmentally friendly heating systems could jeopardize efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.
