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.

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.
