Energy Transition Fund
There is no funding available for 2023. If there are new funds again, we will inform you on this page.
Funding for your energy transition project
For label holders who do not fulfill their investment obligation themselves, we have set up a central support fund, the Energiewende Fund. We use the money transferred to the Energy Transition Fund to promote new renewable energy plants and other energy transition projects. You can apply for this funding for your project with us. From PV systems with storage, to heat pumps or energy efficiency measures, to educational events. There is a wide range of possible measures that can receive a grant.
These are the requirements
To be eligible, you must be a customer of a Green Electricity or Green Gas certified tariff. You can find the corresponding tariffs in the Comparison portal of environmental associations.
The same criteria apply to your project that energy providers must fulfill in their investments. Please check in advance in the catalog of criteria (Chapter 3 - Grant Project Requirements) to determine if the proposed actions are eligible.
Grants are to go primarily to new facilities built and operated by the provider itself or by nonprofit organizations, public and charitable agencies, and citizen-operator corporations and cooperatives.
Apply now for your sponsorship
Application
Please send two versions of the application form by e-mail to n.cernohorsky@gruenerstromlabel.de:
1. Digital without signature,
2. Scanned, with date, signature and stamp.
Please attach a project outline with all important information, including a time schedule and cost breakdown, to the project application. It is a prerequisite that applicants use an energy tariff with the Grüner Strom-Label or Grünes Gas-Label or switch their electricity/gas supply to this at the earliest possible date.
General evaluation criteria
- Concept (technical concept; savings possibilities; sustainable overall concept, etc.)
- Timing of implementation: projects whose implementation is timely will be given priority for funding.
- Need for promotion
- If applicable, innovation / multiplication effect

Switch to a certified electricity or biogas tariff now
There are already several online comparison portals for electricity and gas rates. So what's the point of another one?
At the comparison portal of the environmental associations, consumers can compare high-quality and exclusively certified green electricity and biogas tariffs.
"vergleich-dich-gruen.de" offers you the opportunity to actively participate in an energy transition that is nature-friendly, decentralized, citizen-oriented, public welfare-oriented, fair and pollutant-free through your purchase decision.
