Advisor's note
This replaced the old Resource Efficiency Grant for Energy - same acronym, new 'Emissions' name and a 250 tCO2e/year floor that rules out small projects (SMEs below that should look at the EEG instead). Cash only arrives after project completion and verification, so you carry the full cost in the meantime; motors, LED and split-unit aircon get a streamlined M&V.
Planning a digitalisation or overseas-expansion project? Those usually run under EDG or MRA, which our team delivers end to end.
