I have not found any official 2026 rates online: the exact amounts should be checked on energie.gr.ch before publication.
Special note: the canton’s approval must be obtained before work begins; it is not sufficient simply to submit the application.
Municipality grants
Chur, Davos and other municipalities have their own support schemes. To find out about support available in your municipality, search using your postcode on francsenergie.ch (energiefranken.ch in German).
Steps to follow in order
Obtain a CECB Plus (GEAK Plus in German-speaking Switzerland) if you are planning several projects: this will specify the order in which the work should be carried out.
Request quotes from local tradespeople.
Submit your application via the canton’s Building Programme platform and to your municipality before work begins.
Wait for confirmation before starting.
Carry out the work within the timeframe specified in the grant approval letter.
Send the supporting documents (invoices, photos, certificates) to receive the grant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the amounts change in 2027?
The cantons generally publish their new fee scales at the end of the year. This page will be updated as soon as they are published.
Can I claim both cantonal and municipal assistance?
Often yes, but each grant scheme has its own conditions, and some municipalities deduct the cantonal grant. Check both before signing.
What about solar panels?
Photovoltaics are primarily supported by the Confederation, through Pronovo’s one-off feed-in tariff, which is claimed after the system is commissioned. Some cantons and municipalities offer an additional bonus.
What happens if I start the work too early?
Generally speaking, the help section is not very useful. Always wait for written confirmation before making a purchase or starting work.
