On average, the households received 321 euros, as announced by the responsible energy ministry in Magdeburg on Friday. Around 76.6 percent of applications were approved. Just under 2000 applications were rejected due to missing documents or requirements, among other reasons.

Wood pellet systems accounted for 8 percent and liquid gas for 4.5 percent. According to the information, users of wood pellets received significantly higher amounts of aid per approved application.
