Original title (DE): Bundesprogramm zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz und CO2-Einsparung in Landwirtschaft und Gartenbau
This call is closed. The submission deadline was 31 May 2026. It stays in the catalogue because these windows recur: ask to be alerted when it reopens.
What it funds
CLOSED. Federal programme funding individual energy-efficiency measures and CO2-reduction investments on farms and horticultural holdings, including photovoltaics, heat pumps and storage, on the basis of a prior energy audit. The current application procedure closed on 31 May 2026 and no new applications can currently be submitted. Since 1 October 2025 the programme has been administered by FNR instead of BLE. Funded measures may not start before approval is granted.
Who can apply
German agricultural and horticultural enterprises; the source consulted refers to the SME forms and creditworthiness check without listing the eligible categories in detail.
Notes and caveats
Recorded as CLOSED. The programme has a history of reopenings (the last documented reopening was in November 2025), so energieeffizienz.fnr.de is worth monitoring for a new window. Rates and ceilings were not published on the page consulted: they are contained in the 2025 guideline and the linked Merkblätter.
