Vorarlberg is pushing energy efficiency: New funding for companies!

On July 9, 2025, the state of Vorarlberg will provide information about current funding opportunities for companies that deal with issues of energy efficiency and sustainability. These subsidies are divided into two main groups: advice and support as well as investments. How vorarlberg.orf.at reported, KPC funding (environmental funding) for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has been increased to support their efforts in these areas.

The funding is specifically designed to support businesses in switching to more sustainable practices. The advice and support funding comes as part of the Impuls3 program of the state of Vorarlberg, which is implemented together with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The aim is to improve companies' energy efficiency, climate and ecology efforts.

Support structures for companies

There are various support options for companies in Vorarlberg. The KPC funding, for example, specifically promotes investments by companies in the areas of energy efficiency and sustainability. What is particularly worth mentioning is that the SMEs do not need to submit their own application for funding, as the state of Vorarlberg commissions the KPC to carry out the review.

In addition, there are special subsidies based on the use of buildings. Companies that have company buildings receive support from the federal government, while citizens receive funding for residential buildings from the state of Vorarlberg. These eligibility criteria can vary, especially when it comes to mixed uses. The following applies: If the living space exceeds 50% of the total area, funding is provided by the federal state; If the proportion of space is commercial over 50%, the federal funding system becomes active.

Sustainable future in Vorarlberg

These initiatives show the state of Vorarlberg's commitment to sustainable development and supporting local companies on their path to energy efficiency. The improved funding conditions should not only help reduce operating costs, but also make a positive contribution to the environment.
