DEI+ IN BRIEF
DEI+ is a subsidy for companies who reduce the energy used in their production process. Do you have an innovative technique which will enable you to reduce CO2 emissions? Or do you want to invest in renewable energy sources, such as wind energy, solar energy, and geothermal energy? Then you can apply for a subsidy for pilot and demonstration projects from the Demonstration of Energy and Climate Innovation subsidy (DEI+) scheme.
For whom?
Companies
For what?
Projects which reduce CO2 emissions for sustainability and energy innovation, such as:
- Pilot projects
- Demonstration projects
Grant amount max. €15 million per project*
- * a subsidy for circular economy projects under €3 million is now available. Application opens on 14-06-2021.
- UPDATE! (20-4-2021): The Ministry of Economic Affairs is investing an additional €50 million in the DEI+ this year. This is on top of the already available budget of €76 million. The total budget is now €126 million.

- Local infrastructure
- Other CO2-reducing measures in the industry or electricity sector
Criteria- For Dutch companies.
- The projects must be innovative.

- For demonstration projects, you are allowed to have received a subsidy for the same type of installation twice before from the Topsector Energy schemes.
The DEI subsidy is an investment subsidy for Dutch innovations in the field of sustainable energy and energy saving. The purpose of this subsidy is twofold:
- Stimulating the sustainability of the Netherlands.
- Stimulating the economy – so that the step up to the international market is easier for Dutch companies.
Type of projects
EGEN has worked on several projects in the field of renewable energy, including:
- Pilot project: in a pilot project, you test a new technology and improve it in a test setup that simulates how it would work in practice.
- Demonstration project: in a demonstration project, you invest in a production installation that will remain in use after the subsidy project ends.
