The Dutch government encourages home owners to make their homes more sustainable with a range of subsidies — from insulation and high-efficiency glazing to heat pumps and solar water heaters. The landscape is fragmented and the budgets fill up every year. This page brings together the most important schemes for 2026, each with an in-depth guide so you don’t leave money on the table.

Want to see every scheme in one overview, how much you can get and how to apply? Start with our Subsidy Guide 2026: all Dutch energy subsidies at a glance. It covers the ISDE, municipal schemes and the conditions to watch out for.
ISDE: heat pumps, insulation and glazing
The ISDE (Investment Subsidy for Sustainable Energy) is the main scheme for home owners. It reimburses part of the cost of insulation, high-efficiency glazing, a (hybrid) heat pump or a solar water heater. Extra budget is available for 2026 — read the details in the ISDE subsidy update for heat pumps and our complete guide to insulation subsidies.
