At its meeting on Tuesday, 12 December 2023, the city council decided to involve the Bonn Energy Agency (BEA) in the implementation of the Bonn Climate Plan 2035. From 2024, the BEA will take over the implementation of four projects focussing on buildings. The Bonn Climate Plan was adopted by the council in March 2023. The aim is for the city of Bonn to become climate-neutral by 2035.

Solar Bonn funding programme

In order to strengthen climate protection, energy independence and social justice, the promotion of plug-in solar devices as well as solar installations in Bonn will be significantly increased from 1 January 2023. A "Power up the roofs" subsidy for buildings up to three residential units and a subsidy for ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, for example on car parks, will be newly introduced.
