Recipients of funding are regional authorities and companies in Baden-Württemberg that are exclusively publicly owned.
Approved projects are measures that are carried out in accordance with:
- the state's broadband funding programme (VwV Breitbandförderung 2015 and VwV Breitbandförderung 2019)
- the white-spot funding programme of the federal government - the grey-spot funding programme of the federal government
- the Gigabit Guideline 2.0 of the federal government
and for which a corresponding grant notification has been issued by the state.
General requirements for a call for funds:
- Valid grant notification: Calls for funds can only be made for projects that have already been approved.
- A call-off of up to 90 per cent of the grant is possible, provided that a sufficient amount of eligible expenditure has been incurred. The remaining 10 per cent of the grant will only be paid out after the proof of use has been checked.
- The funds disbursed must be used for the purpose of the grant within three months of disbursement.
The following also applies to the drawdown of funds for original state funding:
- De minimis limit: The approved grant must be more than EUR 25,000 and the disbursement amount requested by the call for funds must be at least EUR 10,000.
The following also applies to the call for funds / proof of utilisation in federal co-financing:
- First the federal government pays, then the state: Before a call for funds can be applied for from the state, the request for funds must first be submitted to the federal government, checked by it and paid out. The same applies to the proof of utilisation in the co-financing of federal funding by the state. Here too, the proof of utilisation must first be submitted to the federal government, checked by it and paid out.
