BAFA funding: easy funding for the introduction of energy management software

The BMWK's funding programme has been in place since 2019 and is aimed in particular at small and medium-sized enterprises, but also at contractors, municipal companies and freelancers. Since its amendment in November 2021, the programme has comprised five modules for which funding is possible:

• Module 1: Cross-sectional technologies
• Module 2: Process heat from renewable energies
• Module 3: Measurement and control technology, sensors and energy management software
• Module 4: Energy-related optimisation of systems and processes
• Module 5: Transformation concepts

What support does Module 3 include?

The purchase, installation and commissioning of software solutions to support an energy management system are eligible for BAFA funding under Module 3. Control and regulation technology for the efficient improvement of energy-saving processes or hardware, such as measurement or sensor technology, are also eligible for funding.

In order to provide even better support for business and industry so that they can make their contribution to achieving climate protection targets, the EEW funding was amended in November 2021. As a result, the costs for funding are now significantly lower: for example, companies do not have to provide proof of an existing energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001 in order to be eligible for funding.

In Module 3, 40% of the investment costs are funded for SMEs and 30% for non-SMEs.

In addition to the purchase of energy management software (EnMS), the following costs are also eligible for funding:

• Project management and consulting
• Training in dealing with EnMS
• If the EnMS is a cloud service, the full external costs for use within the authorisation period
• Creation of a measurement concept by external third parties
