KfW funding in Osterholz: CDU and Greens in the dispute over figures!

Osterholz, Deutschland - In 2022, the Kreditanstalt für recovery (KfW) provided funding of 52.8 million euros in the Osterholz district. These figures were controversial by the political parties on site. While Christina-Jahanne Schröder from the Greens praises the funding as "very good news" for the region, Andreas Mattfeldt from the CDU is concerned about the decline in grant and credit recipients from the business sector.

Total KfW funding in the district rose by 1.9 million euros. The KfW Mittelstandsbank made 12.2 million euros available for founding and company investments as well as operational energy efficiency and renewable energies. For 2023, this grant was already 20.7 million euros. Mattfeldt criticizes Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens) and compares the decline in KfW economic funding in the district with the nationwide trend. In addition, only 2.5 percent of the KfW funds flowed into municipal and social infrastructure.

The introduction of social graduation in heating renovations is considered sensible by those involved. In 2024, a multi -year downward trend in the funding could be stopped. The total amount of the KfW loan and grants amounted to 58.5 million euros in 2022, compared to 70.9 million euros in 2021.

In addition, the website of the Osterholz district refers to the guideline "Promotion of investments for innovation, energy and resource efficiency in the district of Osterholz", which has been in force since June 2018 and was recently updated in April 2023. In addition to the KfW, the financing by local communities, the city and the district is emphasized. The aim of this guideline is to support investments with minimal bureaucratic effort.

The program promotes the creation of new or improved products as well as manufacturing processes and supports small and medium -sized companies as well as start -ups and large companies. The funding is up to 25 percent of the eligible expenses, but a maximum of 50,000 euros, and applications can be made continuously. In order to be eligible, a minimum number of 90 points is required. Advice is recommended before application.

Examples of successful support measures include the reduction of waste through innovative production processes and the optimization of energy use in production systems such as the metal detector, which ensures high -quality product quality.
