Subsidy for Vereniging van Eigenaren: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Owners associations can access subsidies to help pay for energy advice and insulation upgrades for their buildings.

This scheme provides financial support to owners associations looking to make their buildings more energy-efficient through various sustainability measures.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for owners associations (known as VvE) that are planning to undergo energy upgrades. It is intended for groups of owners who want to work together to improve the energy performance of their shared properties.

What you get

The subsidy is intended to lower the financial burden of making a building more sustainable. You can receive financial support to cover the costs associated with obtaining professional energy advice. Additionally, the scheme provides subsidies to help pay for various insulation projects, which help improve the thermal efficiency of the building.

What it costs you

While the subsidy helps cover the expenses of the upgrades, there is an administrative requirement to manage the process. You must ensure that the association holds a formal meeting to reach a collective decision regarding the energy improvements. This decision is a necessary step to move forward with the application and the subsequent work.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that the available budget for these subsidies is not unlimited. Because many associations apply for these funds, the budget can be exhausted quickly. To avoid missing out on the available funding, it is highly recommended that you apply as early as possible in the year.

How to apply

  1. Discuss potential energy upgrades and sustainability goals with your fellow association members.
  2. Organize a formal meeting to reach a collective decision on the planned energy improvements.
  3. Gather the necessary information regarding your planned energy advice or insulation projects.
  4. Contact the issuing government body to find out the specific application process and requirements.
