CommerceTo 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.
The project consists in separating the hot water production system from the heating system. This can be done in two ways:
This technology is particularly suitable for hotels with a high demand for domestic hot water. Setting up this new technology will allow the company to save energy, while reducing its carbon footprint. However, implementing this measure can be rather complex with a medium-to-long-term return on investment, and requires the temporary shutdown of production during the technical installation stage.
The two joint positive effects are:
The estimated energy savings are around 60% for the domestic hot water production system. This translates into a positive impact on the carbon footprint, particularly if the DHW was initially produced using a fossil fuel (although dependent on the initial energy production method).
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.
