[söder-om-sverige]

This week, the german government stopped paying the konverteringsbidrag for new pelletsheatings and solvärme for the rest of 2006.

They say, they get 1300 ansöken per day (!)
160.000 until now in this year.

Thea are now (in august 2006) over their budget.

In 2007 the payment starts again for new ansöken - eventually with new conditions. Source
