SDE subsidy? | Vindsubsidies

Stimulation of Sustainable Energy Production subsidy (SDE++)

If you’re in the business of producing renewable energy, or if you’re planning to implement CO2 reducing technology, then you may be eligible for an SDE++ subsidy.

What is SDE++?

The SDE++ subsidy for Stimulering Duurzame Energieproductie en Klimaattransitie (Encouraging Durable Energy Production and Climate Trans) is intended for businesses and organisations that are manufacturing renewable energy using solar, wind, geothermal, hydro or biomass installations, or implementing CO₂reducing technology. Examples include generating energy using solar panels or wind turbines, and capturing and reusing CO₂.

Eligibility for SDE++ grants

SDE++ grants can be requested by businesses and non-profit organisations in five categories:

Renewable electricity
Renewable gas
Renewable heat
low-CO₂heat
low-CO₂production

When can you apply for SDE subsidy?

The call for SDE++ is from 28 June 2022 until 6 October 2022. There are 5 phases to the call and, during each phase, it is only possible to file for grants with a subsidy need up to a certain amount per tonne of CO2. Since projects with lower needs are honoured first, applicants with a relatively cost-effective project have a better chance of securing funds from the remaining budget – this is to ensure the available budget is spent as efficiently as possible.

Available SDE++ funding

In 2022, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency RVO will be making € 13 billion available for SDE grants; this was significantly lower in 2021, when the budget was € 5 billion.

Prerequisites for SDE++ grants

There are several conditions to an SDE grant. Key is that any required permits are in order; an environmental permit for solar collectors or panels not for installation on an existing roof, or a water permit for solar-thermal projects combined with underground water storage. Our SDE consults are ready to offer their insight and advice regarding these projects and the required permits. In addition, a feasibility study is required upwards of a certain amount of intended output.
