Basel area funding to continue until 2030
The cantonal government of Basel-Landschaft is planning to extend the successful Basel-Landschaft energy package until 2030. With a new spending authorisation of CHF 51.25 million, the funding programme for energy-efficient renovations and renewable energies is to be continued and further developed. In addition to proven measures, targeted new incentives are planned to further strengthen climate protection and the regional economy.
The Basel-Stadt energy package has proven to be an effective instrument for supporting energy-efficient renovations and the expansion of renewable energies. The current spending authorisation expires at the end of 2025. The cantonal government is therefore applying to the cantonal parliament for an extension of the programme for the years 2026 to 2030 with a funding volume of CHF 51.25 million.
The future design of the funding measures is based on the 2022 energy planning report and includes new incentives in addition to the continuation of proven programmes. These include energy-related operational optimisation for residential buildings, subsidies for the 1:1 replacement of old heating systems, the regeneration of geothermal probes, bonuses for combined roof and façade renovations with photovoltaics and the promotion of charging infrastructure in multi-party buildings. Municipalities are also to be supported with certification as energy cities.
Positive impetus for the economy and climate protection
The energy package has seen high demand in recent years, particularly after the record year of 2022. The support measures provide economic impetus, from which small and medium-sized enterprises in particular benefit.
An intercantonal comparison shows that the Basel-Stadt energy package has an above-average impact and makes a significant contribution to cantonal energy and climate policy. The cantonal government will report to the cantonal parliament on the utilisation of the funds and the CO₂ impact of the programme halfway through its term.
With the planned extension, the Basel-Landschaft energy package remains a key instrument for climate protection and sustainable development in the canton of Basel-Landschaft.
