For the subsidy period in which a company does not meet the requirements for the energy cost subsidy, the energy cost flat rate can be applied for. The energy cost subsidy for companies is primarily aimed at energy-intensive companies. The corresponding subsidy guidelines for 2022 set a lower limit for the energy cost subsidy of €2,750 in total per company.
In contrast, the flat-rate energy subsidy for companies is aimed at supporting primarily micro and small enterprises that do not reach the subsidy lower limit of € 2,750.
It is now possible to carry out a self-check. Here you can check whether you already meet the requirements for a submission to the energy cost flat rate. The self-check comprises a maximum of 6 questions and can be accessed here.
The entrepreneur must apply for the subsidy himself. Tax advisors cannot submit the application on behalf of clients.
