Craft IndustryTo make this measure more effective and tailored to the specific context of your company, we recommend that you first perform an overall analysis of your energy situation.
In a butcher shop, the refrigeration cycle ensures the cold rooms are cooled. These refrigeration units, which are subject to operating variations, are often separate and not or very little regulated.
The project consists in replacing small production units supplying cold rooms with a main, centralised cold production unit, controlled with a frequency variation on the refrigeration compressor motor.
By installing this technology, which has been available on the market for more than 5 years, the company may save between 15 and 20% on its energy bills. Although this measure has a fast return on investment, implementing it is complex and requires a temporary production shutdown.
In an installation with individual refrigeration units, the air evaporator is influenced by the climate of the room it cools. The system is disrupted every time a door is opened or food is loaded. In addition, the operation of the condenser is also affected by external temperature variations.
The new centralised refrigeration unit will result in energy savings on two levels:
Please note: any application for government or non-government subsidies must comply with the “incentive effect”, subject to compliance with the subsidy conditions.
To ensure that the ‘incentive effect’ is respected, no binding commitment (signing a quotation; paying an advance) may be made BEFORE submitting the application file or receiving the agreement in principle from the State or the electricity and natural gas supplier following an application for subsidies.
Temporary environmental impact aid
Extended “SME Packages Sustainability” aid scheme, to give companies greater incentives to invest in measures that significantly improve their environmental impact. Investments under this climate protection measure amount to 70% for small enterprises, 60% for medium-sized enterprises and 50% for large enterprises, for projects costing more than €7,500, with a maximum subsidy of €100,000.
Flat-rate subsidy of €5,000 for small and medium-sized companies for projects to reduce their environmental impact, costing between €25,000 and €6,650 excluding VAT.

N.B. State subsidies cannot be combined for the same project
Since 2015, natural gas and electricity suppliers are required to make energy savings for consumers under the obligation scheme. Since then, energy suppliers have been offering support and advice, as well as subsidy programmes for consumers to implement energy efficiency measures.
The following suppliers offer this service for companies:
N.B. Supplier subsidies can be combined with any state subsidies for the same project.
