Sustainability in 2025: what will change and how to respond

Sustainability remains a key issue in 2025. New laws and grants are changing the way companies deal with energy and mobility. The energy market is in flux. Regulations are being adjusted. Tax breaks are disappearing or shifting. This means companies have to move fast. Those who respond smartly to these developments save costs, comply with legislation and remain competitive.

Shift to Solar provides total solutions to help companies with the energy transition. In this article, you will read what changes are coming and how your company can respond to them.

What will change in terms of sustainability in 2025?

1. Reduction in energy tax

The government is reducing energy taxes on both natural gas and electricity by 2025. This will provide an immediate cost reduction. Good news, but saving energy remains essential. Power demand is growing and grid congestion remains a challenge.

2. Subsidies for sustainability remain in place

The government continues to encourage companies to invest in renewable energy. Well-known schemes such as the Energy Investment Allowance (EIA), Sustainable Energy Production and Climate Transition Incentive (SDE++) and Small Scale Investment Allowance (KIA) continue to exist. As a result, solar panels, charging stations and energy storage systems financially attractive.

3. Full net-metering remains possible

Companies with solar panels will still be able to fully net off in 2025. This means generated electricity is offset against purchased electricity. In 2027, this scheme will end. This makes energy storage extra interesting now.

4. No compulsory heat pump

Cabinet reverses mandatory installation of (hybrid) heat pumps. This gives companies more freedom of choice. Nevertheless, further electrification remains important. Solar panels and energy storage offer the best solution here.

5. Subsidy on electric cars disappears

From 2025, there will no longer be a subsidy for electric cars. However, there will still be a rebate on motor vehicle tax (MRB). This means companies will have to be smarter about charging facilities and energy management.

6. Elimination of tax breaks for green investments

Tax breaks for sustainable investments disappear in 2027. This makes 2025 and 2026 the last years in which companies can benefit from them.

How do you capitalise on this with Shift to Solar's solutions?

1. Solar panels reduce energy costs and increase independence

Energy tax falls, but future of energy tariffs remains uncertain Solar panels remain one of the smartest investments. They reduce costs and make your business less dependent on the power grid.

Why invest now?
โœ” Take advantage of the full balancing regime as long as it can.
โœ” Make use of subsidies such as EIA, KIA and SDE++.
โœ” Reduce your dependence on energy suppliers.

2. Business batteries make energy management more efficient

The net-metering scheme is disappearing. That means energy storage will become increasingly important. A business battery stores excess solar energy and prevents waste.

Benefits of energy storage:
โœ” Lower costs: Use stored energy when power prices are high.
โœ” Less dependent on grid congestion: Make the most of your own generated energy.
โœ” Operational security: Remain operational in case of power failure.

3. Smart charging solutions for electric vehicles

Subsidies on electric cars disappear. Smart charging becomes more important. Shift to Solar offers advanced charging stations which can be linked to solar power and energy storage.

Why invest now?

โœ” Additional service: Offer employees and customers a convenient charging option.
โœ” Prepared for the future: Anticipate further electrification.

4. Solar carports combine energy generation with protection

A solar carport generates energy and provides weather protection. This system makes best use of parking areas.

Advantages of a solar carport:
โœ” Direct energy generation for charging points and business premises.
โœ” Additional protection against sun and rain.
โœ” Sustainable image: Show that your company is at the forefront of sustainability.
