Overview
- Environment Minister Carsten Schneider says the Building Energy Act will largely remain and promises to keep socially tiered grants of up to 70 percent for low-income households.
- CSU leader Markus Söder reiterates that the ‘heating law’ will be abolished and calls current heat-pump aid a “complete oversubsidization” that should be sharply reduced.
- Economy Minister Katherina Reiche signals a pullback in heating subsidies, arguing for stricter reviews, fewer distortions and more targeted, market-oriented support; current grants can reach €21,000.
- The coalition agreement vows to scrap the Ampel-era framework yet continue renovation and heating programs, pointing to a technology-neutral, simpler, and more flexible rewrite rather than an outright end.
- Government ministries confirm work on a GEG revision without a timetable, as heat-pump installations have recently surpassed gas boilers and municipal heat-planning deadlines start in mid-2026.
