Baden-Württemberg is investing 22.5 million euros in energy transition!

Thekla, Deutschland - On June 11, 2025, the state of Baden-Württemberg took a significant step towards promoting the energy transition. The financing for regional energy agencies was almost doubled in the 2025/2026 double budget. In total, 9 million euros are available for 2025 and even 13.5 million euros for 2026. This is intended to strengthen the important role of these agencies in the implementation of the energy transition in the municipalities. The contracts for financing have already been signed, and the funds are to be paid out to urban and counties from July, as Tixio reported.

Energy Minister Thekla Walker emphasizes the importance of energy agencies as contact points for citizens. These agencies offer free support and advice on topics such as climate protection as well as energy and heat transition. This not only improves user friendliness, but also promotes the commitment of citizens for sustainable projects.

support and services of the energy agencies

The regional energy agencies are considered an indispensable partner in the process of the energy transition. They help to find individual solutions and to promote the concrete implementation of energy projects. According to KEA BW, this can include the switch to renewable energies and the improvement of energy efficiency in the communities.

Another important aspect is the role that play online presences in optimizing the quality of the offers of the energy agencies. Many agencies, including the KEA BW, rely on analysis and statistics cookies to understand the usage behavior and to improve the user-friendliness of their websites. This information can be found in the data protection information of the respective website.

The aim of these measures is to actively involve citizens in the process, to show ways to save energy and to raise awareness of sustainable energies. The support from the state financing will ensure that all the necessary resources are available to achieve the climate goals and secure future generations.

Overall, the initiative of Baden-Württemberg shows that the state government is determined to promote the energy transition and to give the municipalities the means they need to successfully master this challenge.
