The calculations of the EWI on the burden and relief of households through the “Klimaschutzprogramm 2030” show the effects of the CO2 price, the commuter allowance, and the EEG compensation. For example, a 3-person family with one commuter in an unrenovated single-family-house with an old oil heating system will have additional costs of 201 euros in 2025. In contrast, a high-income family with two commuters in a partially renovated single-family house will have higher costs of 108 euros in 2025 due to the climate protection programme. For a couple in an unrenovated apartment with a gas heating system without commuters, the effects of CO2 pricing and EEG compensation almost cancel each other out.
