Funding advice in the energy sector
Public funding offers great opportunities for companies, municipalities and research institutions, but requires precise planning, verification and adherence to deadlines. From the project idea to implementation, we develop sustainable funding strategies for you, prepare auditable applications, manage fund drawdowns and documentation, and ensure compliance and maximum funding efficiency.

Our consulting approach
The successful use of public funding requires a structured approach and interdisciplinary know-how. We’ll show you the way. Our approach combines funding law, tax and business expertise into a seamless process that supports projects from the initial idea to final implementation. We identify suitable programs at state, federal and EU level, check eligibility and develop individual strategies for you. In doing so, we take into account not only classic grants, but also alternative instruments such as guarantees, redemption grants or tax incentives. Auditable application documents are created through the targeted translation of technical content into formats suitable for authorities, supplemented by close coordination with approval bodies.
During implementation, we take over the funding management including monitoring of milestones, fund drawdowns, documentation and amendment applications – always taking into account compliance, state aid law and procurement regulations. Funding providers also benefit from our expertise: We optimize programs, design efficient award processes, develop workflows and carry out effectiveness analyses in order to sustainably increase transparency, legal certainty and the impact of the funds.
