Brandenburg
What is different in Brandenburg
The nationwide rules for energy advisers and funding apply in Brandenburg. Investitionsbank des Landes Brandenburg (ILB) also provides its own supplementary funding loans and grants.
The state supports climate protection measures through the “Energieeffizienz Brandenburg” and “Erneuerbare Energien Brandenburg” guidelines. Since summer 2024, both have replaced the former RENplus guideline (2014 to 2020) in the energy sector. An energy adviser can help with the application.
