Nature and climate measures grant
A municipal grant for individuals with completed energy improvements or nature-friendly garden planting on a property in Hartkirchen.
Deze mogelijkheid is momenteel in het Engels beschikbaar.
This entry covers energy systems already supported by another public funder and nature-friendly garden measures. Energy options include solar thermal collectors, wood-chip or pellet heating, biogas or wood-gasification systems, heating heat pumps, photovoltaic systems and district-heating connections. The municipal grant is additional support for a property in Hartkirchen.
The grant covers up to 50% of investment costs, capped at €300 per measure. Solar thermal systems receive €30 per square metre of collector area, subject to both limits. Measures must cost at least €200. Other grants already awarded are deducted from the eligible costs. The actual award and payment are determined at year-end according to the number of applications; there is no entitlement. The annual €10,000 budget is normally split equally between energy and garden measures, with unused funds transferred to the other branch.
Eligibility
- The property where the work is completed must be in Hartkirchen. The current notice invites applications for investments made in 2025.
- For the energy-system route described here, your system must already receive support from the Upper Austrian government or another funding body, such as the federal government. Several eligible systems installed together on one property may each receive a separate municipal grant.
- A district-heating connection must be fully completed and already supplying heat. Provide confirmation from the heat supplier or the heat-supply contract. A multi-family building counts as one connection.
- Garden measures cover native fruit trees and trees for bee forage, native wild shrubs from regionally adapted planting material, and diverse flowering meadows using regionally adapted, exclusively REWISA-certified seed. These garden measures count as one project per property and year. Support is available for a property only at intervals of at least five years. Planting, soil preparation and sowing labour are eligible when invoices clearly identify the corresponding work.
