Bill 8405 (\"Énergies renouvelables\"). The Chamber debated and voted it on 22 October 2024.
\nSittings: Sitting of 22 October 2024
\nFirst reading and vote on projet de loi 8405, which extends the Klimabonus Wunnen aid scheme for heating replacement and building renovation to 31 December 2025 and cuts the photovoltaic top-up from 62.5 % to 50 %; the bill passed with 58 votes in favour, none against and 2 abstentions, with a dispensation from the second constitutional vote.
\nLuc Emering (DP), rejecting the criticism that the lower subsidy will cut demand for solar panels:
\n\n\nDofir kënne mir och d’Kritick net gëlle loossen, dass d’Erofsetze bei den Hëllefe vun 62,5 % op 50 % d’Nofro an deem Beräich wäert reduzéieren.
\n
That is why we cannot accept the criticism that lowering the aid from 62.5 % to 50 % will reduce demand in that field.
\nSitting of 22 October 2024, Luc Emering, DP
\nFranz Fayot (LSAP), stating his party's worry about the effect of the subsidy cut on solar installations:
\n\n\nEis Suerg ass, dass déi spektakulär Dynamik insbesonnesch bei de Solaranlage kéint gebrach ginn.
\n
Our worry is that the spectacular momentum, in particular for solar installations, could be broken.
\nSitting of 22 October 2024, Franz Fayot, LSAP
\nJeff Engelen (ADR), criticising the delay in paying out the aid:
\n\n\nEt ass gutt a schéin, wa mer hei esou Bäihëllefen accordéieren, mee wa se bei de Leit ze spéit ukommen, dann hu mer näischt geschafft.
\n
It is all well and good if we grant such aid here, but if it reaches people too late, then we have achieved nothing.
