The Ekomax Guarantee is a free loan repayment security combined with a capital subsidy, aimed at SMEs, small mid-caps, and mid-caps. This instrument supports energy efficiency investments designed to reduce primary energy consumption by at least 30%.

In July 2026, key changes to the program came into effect, significantly increasing the attractiveness of financing for entrepreneurs. The most important changes to the program are:

  • Higher capital subsidy: The maximum subsidy value for SME entrepreneurs has been increased from 20% to 30%.
  • Greater financing flexibility: It is now possible to include up to 15% of costs financed by the loan that do not have to result directly from an energy audit.

New investment opportunities (up to 15% of the cost pool). Thanks to the expansion of the list of eligible costs, the loan can now be used for, among other things:

  • solutions that increase green space and rain gardens;
  • development of electromobility infrastructure;
  • investments in architectural accessibility for people with special needs.
Condiremains unchanged

A consistently key mandatory element is conducting a professional energy audit. This document must clearly demonstrate the potential to reduce primary energy consumption by at least 30%.

A detailed description of the full program rules, a complete catalog of eligible costs, and a list of dedicated investments can be found in our full article on Ekomax Guarantee.
