Luxembourg residents who apply for government aid to install a heat pump in their home may wait up to 12 months for processing, according to Energy Minister Lex Delles. However, applications submitted through the MyGuichet platform can be processed within 10 months. To address the long waiting times, the government will introduce pre-financing under the Klimabonus Wunnen financial aid program. The government also acknowledged concerns about the impact of rising energy costs on the attractiveness of heat pumps, stating that households with heat pumps have seen lower energy costs in recent years. Luxembourg has allocated €171 million to subsidize rising electricity costs and aims to replace 50% of existing boilers with renewable energy systems, including heat pumps, by 2030. The goal is to ensure the country meets its net-zero emissions target by 2050.
