Energy Plus

What is subsidized?

The City of Innsbruck promotes measures in residential buildings to increase thermal and sound insulation as well as environmentally friendly measures to reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions. The possibilities are many and varied. A closer look at the measures we support as part of "Innsbruck fördert: EnergiePlus" program pays off.

The promotion of photovoltaic systems , which is limited until 31.12.2023, has been permanently included in the catalog of measures. Of the total output of the photovoltaic system, a maximum of 10 kWp is subsidized with 250.00 euros per kWp (max. 2,500.00 euros per metering point number).

If climate-friendly insulation materials with eco-labels are used, at least 50 percent of the required insulation thickness must be installed. The following test marks are recognized: Austrian Ecolabel, natureplus, IBO test mark. Proof is provided via test certificates or listings of the awarded products on the websites of the relevant testing bodies.

In addition, from January 1, 2024, the previously mandatory energy consultation is no longer necessary.

Funding consists exclusively of one-off grants and is granted in addition to federal and state funding. However, the total of all subsidies (federal, state and city) may not exceed the total costs of the investment. Should the subsidies nevertheless exceed the investment costs, the amount of the municipal subsidy will be reduced proportionately.

Specifically, funding is available:

• Individual measures to improve thermal insulation, such as insulation measures for the exterior walls, the top floor ceiling or the sloping roof, the basement ceiling and the replacement of windows and front doors
• Increased funding for refurbishment measures when using eco-labeled insulation materials
• Installation of soundproof windows (existing properties only)
• Installation of sound-insulating ventilators (existing properties only)
• Passive measures to prevent overheating in summer
• Comfort ventilation systems and individual ventilators, each with heat recovery
• Detailed energy consultations (only in connection with eligible renovation measures)
• Solar thermal systems (new build and existing properties) (see solar guidelines)
• Installation of electrically operated heat pumps (only existing properties)
• District heating connection (only existing properties)
• Photovoltaic systems (see solar guidelines)
• Efficient water heating (existing properties only)
