Craft IndustryTo make this measure more effective and tailored to the specific context of your company, we recommend that you first perform an overall analysis of your energy situation.
The project consists in replacing a conventional oven that does not allow to bake different products simultaneously with a multi-level oven that optimises the capacity of the oven, thus reducing its operating time for the same production.
Installing this technology, which has been available on the market for more than 5 years, will allow the company to save up to 10% on its electricity consumption as well as somewhat reduce its carbon footprint. While the cost of energy alone cannot justify this measure, it allows greater flexibility and potentially an optimisation of baking time and therefore an increase in yield. This measure is not easy to implement and requires a production shutdown during installation.
These ovens can increase the yield of bakeries. The different oven levels can be set to different temperatures, humidity levels and air flows. Hence, they offer greater flexibility to production processes and also help reduce energy losses by allowing better control of energy use.
Please note: any application for government or non-government subsidies must comply with the “incentive effect”, subject to compliance with the subsidy conditions.
To ensure that the incentive effect of the aid is respected, no binding commitments may be made (acceptance of a quote; advance)
Aid for environmental protection
The law of 8 December 2025 on the renewal of the aid scheme for environmental and climate protection provides for the granting of investment aid to SMEs and large companies established in Luxembourg, with a business licence, and carrying out projects that contribute to environmental or climate protection.
This aid supports investments aimed at improving energy efficiency outside buildings. It is intended for initiatives that either reduce energy consumption by at least 20% or achieve energy savings of at least 250 MWh per year.
The following maximum rates apply:
| Activity | Company size | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | Medium | Large | |
| Energy efficiency outside buildings | 25 % | 20 % | 15 % |
When equipment is added to an existing installation and there is no counterfactual investment that is less environmentally friendly, the aid rate shown in the table above is doubled.
SMEs may receive aid upon request if they meet the conditions set out in Article 7 of this law, provided that the aid is less than €100,000 and more than €50,000.
Large enterprises, as well as SMEs, will also be able to participate in regular calls for projects, which will be announced below when they become available.
The General Directorate – State Aid and Company Financing will verify the eligibility of applications.
Call for projects for measures promoting energy efficiency outside buildings
A call for projects is open from 5 January 2026 to 30 June 2026 to support measures that promote energy efficiency outside buildings.
This call will be conducted on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, i.e. aid will be granted in the order in which applications are received, until the €15 million budget is exhausted. No specifications have been published; only the conditions specified in the law of 8 December 2025 on the renewal of the environmental and climate protection aid scheme will apply.
N.B. While several state subsidies cannot be granted for the same project, they can be combined with assistance from energy suppliers.
Since 2015, natural gas and electricity suppliers are required to make energy savings for consumers under the obligation scheme. Since then, energy suppliers have been offering support and advice, as well as subsidy programmes for consumers to implement energy efficiency measures. The amount of the premium is proportional to the annual energy saving (in MWh). The following suppliers offer this service for companies:
N.B.: Supplier subsidies can be combined with a state subsidy for the same project.
