The Brussels Region overhauled its grant system on January 1, 2026. Here is a clear summary for anyone who wants to renovate without breaking the bank.
The 4 main grants in 2026
1. Renolution grant
The flagship grant for insulation and energy improvement work:
- Roof insulation: up to €50/m² (capped at €6,000)
- Exterior wall insulation: up to €80/m²
- Interior wall insulation: up to €40/m²
- Double-glazed frames: up to €60/m² of glazing
- Triple-glazed frames: up to €120/m² of glazing
Adjusted according to household income: 30% boost for modest incomes, 60% for very modest incomes.
2. Solar panel grant
Since 2024, the prosumer tariff has replaced the reversing meter. The Region compensates through:
- €1,500 flat rate for an installation up to 5 kWp
- +€200/additional kWp between 5 and 10 kWp
- Global cap: €2,500
3. Heat pump grant
- Air-water heat pump: €4,500
- Geothermal heat pump: €6,000
- Combinable with the condensing boiler grant for a full system replacement.
4. Energy audit grant
Before any major job, run an audit (~€1,500). The Region refunds €800 upon presentation of the report. It is one of the best cost/benefit ratios: the audit identifies priorities and unlocks the other grants.
How to combine
The golden rule: regional grants stack with each other as long as you do not exceed 80% of the total works cost. You can also combine with:
- The Brussels 0% green loan (up to €25,000 repayable over 10 years).
- The federal tax deduction on interest (still active until end of 2027 for certain works).
- The energy grants from your provider (ENGIE, Luminus, etc.), often an extra ~€200-400.
How to apply
- Prior application on the portal primes.bruxellesenvironnement.be
- Get the work done by an accredited pro (the list is on the portal, Batizzy does not yet manage this certification but our BCE-verified pros can hold it).
- Submit the invoices within 12 months after the end of the works.
- Payment: 8 to 12 weeks after a complete file.
Our advice
Run an audit BEFORE signing a quote. You will know exactly which scenario optimises grants and energy savings. On Batizzy, you will find certified energy auditors in the Brussels Region.
