How BAFA benefits you
Obtainment of Comparative Offers
To optimize funding, it is advisable to obtain competitive offers for the planned purchase (e.g., machinery) that demonstrate the energy-saving potential with a realistic benchmark. Early-stage support is available to assist with this process, ensuring that the comparisons effectively highlight the energy efficiency benefits, thus maximising the potential funding.
Timing
Funding will only be approved if the application is submitted prior to the commencement of the project or order. Consequently, the project may not begin until confirmation of receipt has been issued.
Involvement of Energy Consultants
Certified energy consultants are engaged during the application process to assess the specific impacts of proposed measures. The associated fees for these services are partially subsidised to support businesses in optimising their energy strategies.
How BAFA benefits you
BAFA – Boost Energy Efficiency, Cut Costs, and Sharpen your Competitive Edge.
BAFA funding for energy efficiency supports climate protection, reduces energy costs, enhances competitiveness, and drives technological innovation. It aligns with the national strategy to lower CO2 consumption, whilst striving for a resource-efficient economy. Small and medium-sized enterprises particularly benefit from this support, as higher funding rates enable them to implement essential modernisation and efficiency measures. This initiative helps businesses improve sustainability while boosting their long-term economic resilience.
The Three Steps to Secure Funding

Competitive Quotations
✔️ Appropriate competitive quotations significantly influence the level of funding available.
✔️ Ensure that all formal requirements are strictly adhered to for a smoother application process and to optimise the chances of securing funding.
Involve Energy Consultants
✔️ Preparation of the technical project description with an energy consultant is a prerequisite.
✔️ Our energy consultants have expert knowledge of the application process and fine-tune measures to optimise outcomes for your project.
Initiation of Steps
✔️ The implementation of measures can only commence after confirmation of receipt, which is not to be confused with approval.
✔️ To mitigate any risks, it is advisable to wait until the funding has been officially approved before proceeding with the project.
