January 2018
The eastern federal state of Thuringia has been supporting investment in energy efficiency for Thuringian companies through its “GREEN Invest” program since 2015. There was strong demand for the financial incentives in 2017 with 279 applications for energy efficiency consulting in companies and the corresponding investments in efficient heat pumps, energy efficient LED systems in production buildings, and electricity production from renewable sources.
