In 2025, with electricity prices soaring and growing consumer demand for eco-friendly dining, restaurants in Luxembourg are facing both a challenge and an opportunity:
👉 How to control rising energy costs while appealing to customers who care about the environment.
At EmaxSolar Luxembourg, we help restaurants become energy-efficient and sustainable through solar panels, heat pumps, battery storage, and EV charging stations—all while benefiting from substantial government subsidies.
The Energy Cost Crisis in Hospitality
- The price of electricity in Luxembourg has increased by more than 40% since early 2025.
- Energy is a major overhead for restaurants: lighting, heating/cooling, kitchen equipment, refrigeration.
- Customers increasingly favor eco-responsible brands—even when dining out.
👉 The solution? Adopt renewable energy and smart efficiency upgrades.

2️⃣ Heat Pumps: Eco-Friendly Heating and Cooling

- Eligible for Klimabonus and PRIMe House subsidies.
3️⃣ Battery Storage for Energy Security

- Reduce dependency on the grid and maintain operation during outages.
4️⃣ EV Charging: Attract Eco-Conscious Diners
- Install AC or fast DC chargers in your parking area.
