The National Heat Fund (Nationaal Warmtefonds) has been helping to accelerate the energy transition since 2013. This is a collaboration between the Dutch government and various banks, including ING.
With an energy savings loan, you can borrow money towards things such as insulation, solar panels and a heat pump with favourable terms and conditions. This is a good solution if, for example, you don’t have enough savings.
