On 16 February 2026, the Ministry of Economy launched a new photovoltaic call for tenders with investment aid for businesses. The aim: to stimulate photovoltaic production by supporting the construction of photovoltaic installations with a capacity of between 30 and 200 kWp, a segment particularly suited to SMEs with industrial roofs, facades or car parks (shade structures).

Increased support for photovoltaic installations in businesses

This scheme is part of the national consultation ‘Einfach – Séier – Erneierbar’ and aims to accelerate the deployment of solar energy in businesses.
Projects promoting self-consumption, energy sharing, the integration of charging stations or the installation of storage batteries will receive appropriate support in order to encourage better use of the electricity produced.
The call for tenders is structured in three lots (roofs and land in business parks, innovative façade projects or lightweight modules, shade structures), each available with or without storage.

The Ministry of Economy is launching its first call for projects dedicated to zero-emission heavy commercial vehicles. This new scheme aims to support businesses in decarbonising their fleets by covering part or all of the cost difference between a zero-emission vehicle and an equivalent model with a combustion engine.

Up to €10 million for N2 and N3 category vehicles

With a budget of €10 million, the call for projects concerns:

• N2 category vehicles (3.5 to 12 tonnes)
• N3 category vehicles (over 12 tonnes)

Eligible vehicles include electric lorries, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, vehicles equipped with a hydrogen combustion engine, and the conversion of combustion engine vehicles to zero-emission vehicles. The scheme is designed to be technologically neutral.

The aid can cover up to 100% of eligible costs (the difference in investment between a zero-emission vehicle and a comparable conventional vehicle).

At the same time, a specific aid scheme for SMEs provides support of up to 60% for small businesses and 50% for medium-sized businesses, limited to five vehicles and a ceiling of €300,000.

A call for projects for charging infrastructure dedicated to heavy commercial vehicles is also underway, with a subsidy of up to 70% of the investment.
Companies can benefit from free support from Luxinnovation to structure their decarbonisation project.

The first edition of Klimapakt fir Betriber Day was held on April 3, 2025, bringing together decision-makers, experts, and companies to focus on the energy transition.

Organised by Klima-Agence and Luxinnovation, the day showcased concrete solutions for decarbonisation, energy efficiency and sustainable mobility, in the presence of the Minister for the Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism, Lex Delles, and the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity, Serge Wilmes.

A program full of exchange and interaction

The day was structured around conferences, interactive workshops and inspiring testimonials. The day was structured around conferences, interactive workshops and inspiring testimonials. The morning was devoted to themed sessions, giving participants the opportunity to explore topics such as electric mobility, electricity sharing, the monitoring of measures put in place and the training on offer in relation to decarbonisation.

In the afternoon, German expert Michael Heim delivered a keynote presentation demonstrating how decarbonisation can enhance the competitiveness of SMEs, using practical examples and collaborative approaches.

Inspiring testimonials

Luxembourg companies shared their experiences of projects ranging from the installation of photovoltaic panels to electric mobility in the craft sector. These examples show that the energy transition is not only possible, but also beneficial. They also highlighted the importance of raising awareness among both employees and customers to ensure the success of these initiatives.

This initiative is part of the development of Klimapakt fir Betriber, a national programme designed to provide companies with the tools they need to work towards a more sustainable future.

Communiqué par le ministère de l’Économie

Le ministère de l’Économie a décidé de prolonger l’aide temporaire à impact environnemental pour une durée de 7 mois. L’aide temporaire à impact environnemental sert à inciter davantage les entreprises à investir dans des mesures qui améliorent substantiellement leur impact environnemental, par exemple à travers:

• l’augmentation de l’efficacité énergétique,
• la production d’énergie à partir de sources renouvelables,
• la diminution de la consommation et de la pollution d’eau,
• le recyclage et le réemploi de déchets.

L’amélioration substantielle de l’impact environnemental de l’entreprise doit être évaluée par un expert indépendant agréé en la matière.

Tout entreprise disposant d’une autorisation d’établissement peut solliciter cette aide pour couvrir une partie des coûts liés à des investissements dans des actifs corporels tels que des machines et équipements, ou des panneaux photovoltaïques ou encore ceux liés aux travaux d’extension ou de rénovation de bâtiments servant à l’activité artisanale ou commerciale. L’entreprise doit obligatoirement passer par un Conseil auprès de la House of Sustainability, qui donne son avis sur le choix de l’expert et accompagne gratuitement l’entreprise dans les démarches d’introduction de la demande d’aide.

Tout en ne dépassant pas 100.000 euros par groupe, l’intensité maximale de l’aide par projet ne peut dépasser au maximum:

• 70% des investissements éligibles pour les petites entreprises,
• 60% des investissements éligibles pour les moyennes entreprises,
• 50% des investissements éligibles pour les grandes entreprises.

Pour chaque projet d’investissement, le montant de l’investissement ne peut être inférieur à 7.500 euros.

La nouvelle date limite pour l’introduction de la demande d’aide est le 30 juin 2025.

Tous les détails de ce régime d’aides sont disponibles sur guichet.lu.

SMEs can benefit from subsidies for the installation of charging infrastructures, provided they submit their applications before the 31st December 2024.
