On Monday the 29th of January, in the presence of the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity, Mr Serge Wilmes, and the Minister for the Economy, SME, Energy and Tourism, Mr Lex Delles, the Boards of Aldermen of the communes of Niederanven and Schuttrange invited business companies from both communes to a reception for the first time. Around 120 people, including businesswomen and -men from 56 different companies, found their way to the Centre de Loisirs “Loisi” to forge new contacts and exchange ideas. The focus was on the presentation of Klima-Agence on measures for the energy transition for companies in the context of the Klimapakt fir Betriber programme, before the evening was rounded off with an interesting networking session among the business people, the members of the Boards of Aldermen and Communal Councils of Niederanven and Schuttrange and the ministers.
The fifth session of the Klimapakt fir Betriber roadshow was organised by Klima-Agence in collaboration with the Guichet unique PME, and Naturpark Our.
The session began with an introduction by Klima-Agence, setting out the objectives and commitments of Klimapakt fir Betriber, followed by a presentation of the programme’s tools by experts from Luxinnovation, House of Sustainability and Klima-Agence.
Three companies then shared their decarbonisation and energy transition projects:
Robbesschéier presented their project “Nachhaltige Robbesscheier”, which includes a global energy monitoring system and aims to reduce their energy dependency.
KELLER minimal windows presented the results of an in-depth study of their CO2 footprint and their transition to using locally recycled aluminium, thereby halving their aluminium-related carbon footprint.
Nexxtlab brought the presentations to a close by unveiling its real-time monitoring and control software for homes and businesses.
The session concluded with exchanges between participants and experts from the Fit4 Sustainability and SME-Packages programmes, strengthening the support network for companies committed to energy transition and decarbonisation.

Mondo del caffe shared its experience of installing its solar power plant, a success despite initial difficulties with the building stability. The company also highlighted its commitment to sustainability in coffee supply chains.
Burelbach Landschafts- und Gartendesign rounded off the presentations with a tour of its new premises, subsidised as a global project by the Ministry of Economy. They also presented their future photovoltaic and e-mobility projects.

Press release from the Ministry of Energy and Spatial Planning / Ministry of the Economy (in french)
Suite au deuxième appel à projets accordant des aides financières aux entreprises qui investissent dans des projets d’infrastructures de charge pour véhicules électriques, 20 projets pour l’installation de 246 nouvelles bornes de charge ont été retenus. Les entreprises concernées bénéficieront d’une subvention allant jusqu’à 50% de leur investissement. Chaque infrastructure de charge est caractérisée par une capacité de charge qui est au moins égale à 175 kilowatts.
Répartis sur l’ensemble du territoire luxembourgeois, les 20 projets retenus ont été soumis par 17 entreprises, dont notamment des stations-service, des centres commerciaux, des artisans ou encore des entreprises industrielles. Le montant total des aides accordées par l’État dans le cadre de cet appel à projets est de 5 millions d’euros. Au total, 246 bornes seront subventionnées, dont 180 bornes privées et 67 accessibles au public. La capacité de charge totale de ces bornes est de 20.784 kW.
Le ministre de l’Énergie, Claude Turmes, se félicite de l’issue de ce deuxième appel d’offres: “Les résultats très encourageants de cet appel à projets sont une nouvelle preuve que les entreprises luxembourgeoises sont prêtes à relever le défi de l’électromobilité. Ces 246 bornes réparties dans tout le pays sont une contribution importante à la densification de l’infrastructure de charge, nécessaire pour accélérer l’essor de l’électromobilité au Luxembourg.”
En complément de la nouvelle aide financière pour les entreprises pour l’acquisition de véhicules utilitaires lourds à zéro émission lancée en avril 2023, le prochain appel à projets sera également ouvert aux entreprises souhaitant investir dans des projets d’infrastructures de charge dédiées aux véhicules utilitaires lourds (catégories N2 et N3). Cet appel à projets s’étendra du 15 septembre au 15 novembre 2023, et permettra une intensité d’aide allant jusqu’à 70%.
Un autre appel à projets, ouvert à tout type d’infrastructure et avec une intensité d’aide maximale de 50%, sera également lancé du 1er décembre 2023 au 1er février 2024.
Il y a lieu de rappeler qu’il existe un autre régime d’aide réservé aux petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) qui relève, tout comme les appels à projets, du plan pour la reprise et la résilience du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg tel qu’approuvé par la Commission européenne le 18 juin 2021. Ainsi, sur simple demande, les PME peuvent bénéficier d’une subvention allant jusqu’à 50% des coûts liés aux bornes de charge et jusqu’à 60% des coûts liés au raccordement au réseau électrique. Cette aide est plafonnée à 60.000 euros pour les coûts de raccordement au réseau électrique et à 40.000 euros pour les autres coûts liés au déploiement par entreprise.
Le ministre de l’Économie, Franz Fayot, commente: “Ce deuxième appel à projets, les deux autres appels à projets à venir, ainsi que les différents régimes d’aides financières mis en place, soutiennent pleinement les entreprises dans leur transition vers l’électromobilité. Je suis ravi du succès rencontré par l’appel à projets, preuve que les entreprises s’engagent dans la transition verte en contribuant à la décarbonisation des transports et aux efforts du gouvernement pour une mobilité plus durable au Luxembourg. À terme, les entreprises qui optent pour de telles infrastructures et réalisent des investissements durables seront plus compétitives.”
