Anyone who invests in electric steam generation now can benefit twice: through significant energy and CO₂ savings – and through attractive government subsidies. With the “Federal Funding for Energy and Resource Efficiency in Business” (EEW Module 4 Premium), the federal government supports companies that want to sustainably improve their energy efficiency – for example, through electric steam generators from JUMAG.
Why investing is worthwhile right now
Electric steam generators are not only efficient, low-maintenance, and flexible – they also play a key role on the path to CO₂-neutral production. The EEW Modul 4 Premium funding program now makes these investments even more attractive:
What the funding offers:
- Up to 45 % of investment costs for small companies
- Up to 35 % for medium-sized companies
- Up to 25 % for large companies
This can quickly amount to a six-figure sum – and drastically shorten the payback period.
What is being funded?
Funding is available for additional or replacement investments in new, energy-efficient systems, such as:
- electric steam generators from JUMAG (standard units up to 35 bar)
- Heat recovery systems
- accompanying energy saving measures
Leasing and hire-purchase models are excluded. Oil- and gas-fired systems are excluded from EEW funding. Small companies can additionally receive funding via EEW Module 6 for replacing a fossil-fuelled system with an electric one. Important: Contracts may only be awarded after receipt of the funding notification (processing time: 2–8 weeks).
Your advantage with JUMAG: Consulting & technology from a single source
Many existing industrial steam plants are inefficient or rely on fossil fuels. Our electric steam generators, with up to 30% savings compared to the existing plant, not only meet the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEW) requirements but also offer maximum operational reliability and scalability.

Checklist: Am I eligible for funding?
If you answer “yes” to at least 3 of the following questions, you are very likely to receive funding:
- We are planning a new steam generator plant or the replacement of an old one
- Our company has fewer than 250 employees
- We have an annual turnover of less than €50 million or a balance sheet total of less than €43 million
- Our current system is older than 10 years
- We have high energy costs and want to save CO₂
- The investment is expected to be made within the next 12 months
Conclusion: Investing in energy-efficient steam generation today not only reduces costs and CO₂ emissions in the long term, but also directly benefits from government subsidies. Let us advise you – for the best from steam.
