Questions & Answers
The group of eligible applicants is specified separately for each chapter. You can find more detailed information on this on the relevant subpages.
The application may also be submitted on behalf of the applicant by an authorised representative, e.g. an energy adviser.
Proof must be provided of the identity of the applicant (individual or organisation) and – where applicable – of the representative (individual or organisation), as well as proof of their authority to act on the applicant’s behalf.
Examples:
a) A private individual must upload their identity card. If they have authorised an energy adviser to submit the application, the energy adviser’s identity card and the power of attorney must be uploaded.
b) A company registered in the commercial register must upload an extract from the commercial register and the identity document of the managing director or another person authorised to act on its behalf.
Once you have submitted your application, you will receive two notifications via the funding portal. The first will have the subject line ‘Application received’, and the second will have the subject line ‘The requested measure(s) may be commissioned’. The measure(s) applied for may only be implemented after you have received the second notification. This means that only then may you commission the contractors and, where applicable, the site supervision, or purchase materials or equipment.
The construction works applied for must be completed and the supporting documents (invoices, declarations) uploaded within a specified timeframe. On the grant portal, uploading these documents is referred to as ‘submitting proof of expenditure’.
For certain funding schemes, an extension to the deadline can be applied for online via the funding portal. The deadline regulations are described on the relevant funding pages. To do this, select the funding scheme relevant to you from the drop-down menu.
Applications are processed in the order in which the proof of expenditure is received.
If the review reveals that documents are missing, you will be given the opportunity to rectify this. In this case, you will receive a message via the funding portal asking you to upload the necessary supporting documents.
Once the assessment of an application has been completed, a funding decision will be issued. The funding will be paid out eight to ten weeks after the funding decision has been delivered digitally via the funding portal.
The application is submitted by a representative acting on behalf of the WEG. The ‘applicant’ is the WEG itself. The WEG bears the costs. The invoice must be made out to the WEG. You can find detailed information on the WEG subpage.

The status ‘Draft’ means that the application has not yet been submitted. You can still revise it and then submit it.
The status ‘Funds allocated’ means that you have successfully submitted the application to us and it is now on hold until you notify us that the measures have been completed by uploading the required documents (invoices, etc.) as proof of expenditure.
The status ‘Completed’ means that you have notified us that the measures for which you applied have been completed by uploading the relevant documents (proof of expenditure has been submitted). The application is now awaiting a technical review of the documents. You do not need to take any further action at this stage. Should any documents be missing, you will receive a notification via the funding portal asking you to upload the missing documents within a specified timeframe.
The status ‘Settled’ means that the documents have been checked and the funding decision has been issued. It may take a few days for the funding decision to be sent to you by post. The funding will be paid out 8–10 weeks after the date of the funding decision.
After logging into the funding portal, select your application in the “Project overview” and look under “Other actions” for the “Apply for an extension” button.
