As a commercial gardener, you will soon be able to apply for the Danish Energy Agency’s grants for energy efficiency improvements, including replacing lighting with LED.
The application round is open from May 18, 2021 through June 1, 2021 at 12:00 noon.
The business subsidy for energy efficiency improvements is part of the 2018 Energy Agreement and the Climate Agreement for Energy and Industry 2020. DKK 200 million has been allocated in 2020 and a total of approximately DKK 3.5 billion towards 2030.

Why switch to LED?
LED grow lights have several major advantages compared to traditional HPS lights. LEDs save energy, ensure high efficiency and provide a constant light output. Most importantly, our LED solutions are developed with the plants’ needs as the central focus. For example, did you know that LED reduces the need for retardant due to the blue light?
If you’re looking to switch from HPS to LED, you should take a closer look at Grow Horti. Grow Horti is a simple and effective solution that ensures a smooth transition from your traditional HPS light to LED. It’s a plug-and-play solution that makes installation as easy as possible. We take care of setting up the grow light for your specific culture.

If you see opportunities in being able to control the spectral distribution, for example if you change crops throughout the year, you should take a closer look at our other LED solutions, which all allow you to control the spectral distribution. This means that you can change the light composition to match a new crop, to dim the light according to the plant’s current needs or to update your light based on the latest research into plant needs;

Can my investment pay off?
When considering investing in LED grow lights, you’re probably only calculating the actual investment now – how much do the luminaires cost and what is the return on investment?
But there are more factors to consider, such as the opportunity to increase production times and efficiency. Fortunately, many now also focus on total savings (which equals profit) – an important factor to keep in mind and include in your cost-benefit analysis and your consideration of switching to LED grow lights.
