Title of the measure:
KfW-IKK-Programme for Energy Efficient
Urban Lighting (KfW-IKK-Programm zur
energieeffizienten Stadtbeleuchtung )
General description
The IKK program - Energetic Urban renewal - Urban lighting allows municipalities’ attractive financing
of investments in the sustainable improvement of the energy efficiency of public lighting. With this
program, KfW contributes to the implementation of climate protection objectives of the Federal
Government.
Eligible applicants include the following investors:
 Local authorities
 Non-autonomous municipal enterprises of local authorities
 Community organizations (for e.g. municipal special purpose associations)
Financing will be subjected to the execution of various energetic measures in improving the energy
efficiency of street lighting including lighting of pedestrian crossings, lighting of parking lots, public
open spaces, sports facilities, lighting in parking garages and underground parking lots, traffic signals and
the construction of charging stations for electric vehicles (only in connection with eligible measures of
public street lighting).
Programme provides funding of up to 100% of the eligible investment costs per project. Repayment can
be in 10 years with up to 2 years of grace period.
Impact evaluation (methods and results)
Assessment of the energy savings by the IKK Urban efficient light programme has been carreid out by the
Prognos and the results have been incorporated in the 3rd NEEAP and the Article 7 notification. The
results are summarized below in table 1;
