Energy subsidies

The energy market offers various subsidies. We ensure you stay informed and qualify for the right subsidy. We also advise on tax energy-saving opportunities.

Energy Subsidies in the Netherlands and Europe

Which subsidy is right for you?

In the Netherlands and the EU, there are numerous energy subsidies available, which can significantly reduce your monthly energy costs.

De sector waarin u werkt, uw huidige financiële situatie, het type subsidie waarin u interesse heeft en de hoogte van uw eigen investering zijn factoren die mede bepalen of u in aanmerking komt voor een Nederlandse of Europese energiesubsidie. COMCAM is voor elke sector op hoogte van de mogelijkheden.

Flexible electricity consumption (Flex-e) from April 1 to October 15, 2025

The new Flexible Electricity Use (Flex-e) subsidy is designed to support large consumers in making their electricity use more flexible to reduce the effects of grid congestion.

The scheme applies only to companies in an area of off-take congestion with a connection of 100kW or more. Companies that meet this requirement can apply for subsidies for :

  • A flexibility scan for insight into energy use and opportunities for flexibility. Grant rate: 50%, maximum €10,000 per application.
  • A feasibility study to investigate the technical feasibility and required investments for flexibility measures. Grant rate: 50%, minimum €10,000 to maximum €125,000 per application.
  • Realization of investment cost flexibility measures . Grant rate: 35%, minimum €25,000 to maximum €300,000.

Examples of flexibility measures that can be subsidized include sensors, energy management systems and/or making assets and batteries controllable.

Subsidies are only granted for measures when the applicant enters into a contract with the grid operator guaranteeing that the flexibility measures are deployed in a grid-conscious manner.

An annual subsidy budget of €30.4 million is available for 2025 and 2026. Each type of measure has its own budget.

This year’s grant is available from April 1 through October 15, 2025. Applications will be processed in order of receipt.

Environmental List 2025

MIA/Vamil: Milieu-investeringsaftrek/Willekeurige afschrijving milieu- investeringen (Environmental investment deduction/ Indiscriminate deduction of environmental investments)

The Mission Driven Research, Development and Innovation (MOOI) mission System Integration is focused on projects that encourage research and development of specific innovation themes.

This particular MOOI opening concerns a joint arrangement at the intersection of renewable electricity generation, industry sustainability and the integration of various renewable solutions into the energy system. More flexible capacity is needed from both generators and customers to maintain the balance of supply and demand.

Applicants can research and develop innovative solutions that involve two or more links in an energy system. These themes are transmission & distribution, storage and conversion, and large-scale use.

The innovation must be ready for the market within 10 years. A total of 16.5 million euros is available for these projects.

An MOOI grant application requires a pre-notification of your plan with the proposed collaboration. This can be done from March 18, 2025 09:00 am to April 17, 2025 17:00 pm.

The final application can be submitted between June 3 and Sept. 4, 2025.

EIA: Energie-investeringsaftrek (Energy investment deduction)

This grant is for large-scale renewable energy projects to reduce CO2 reduce for the industry. This subsidy is to make the unprofitable top profitable again. This top would arise if the industry starts applying new technologies/sustainable energy carriers to reduce CO2 emissions (market introduction).

The SDE++ is an operating subsidy. Dat betekent dat u subsidie ontvangt tijdens de periode dat u uw installatie in gebruik heeft (de exploitatieperiode). De hoogte van deze subsidie hangt af van de marktprijs en de werkelijke hoeveelheid hernieuwbare energie die u opwekt of de werkelijke hoeveelheid CO2 that you emit less by using your facility.

The 2025 round of openings will take place from Oct. 7 to Nov. 6. This year’s opening round also has 5 phases in which the maximum subsidy increases. Projects with a lower subsidy per ton of CO2 avoided can thus be submitted earlier and thus be considered earlier.

DUMAVA: Duurzaam maatschappelijk vastgoed (Sustainable social real estate)

Market introduction/deployment of technologies/devices leading to energy saving and/or CO2 reduction. Supporting a study is also possible (CO2 reduction plan).
