Submitting an energy- or environmentally-saving solution as a subsidizable product?

When developing new products, various development grants can be utilized, such as the Promotion of Research and Development Act (WBSO) and the SME Innovation Stimulation Top Sectors (MIT). When a product is ready for market, buyers of an energy- or environmentally-saving product may be eligible for (fiscal) grants such as the Energy Investment Allowance (EIA), the Environmental Investment Allowance (MIA), and the Investment Grant for Sustainable Energy and Energy Saving (ISDE grant). The selling party can facilitate this by submitting a proposal to have the product included in the Energy List, the Environmental List, and/or the ISDE List. In this proposal, the energy/environmental savings and the payback period of the product must be detailed in comparison to what is standard in the market.

Your product on the Energy List for the EIA?

The Energy Investment Allowance (EIA) is a tax scheme for entrepreneurs who invest in energy-saving assets and technologies. EIA can be requested for various investments in company buildings, processes, means of transport, sustainable energy, energy balancing, energy transition and advice on this.

Various asset codes are included in the annually established Energy List, each specifying the EIA conditions per asset. As a seller of an energy-saving product, you can submit a proposal for inclusion on the Energy List. We can advise on this or submit the full proposal.
