Description of support scheme
SDE++ builds upon the former SDE+ scheme and offers a subsidy to those producing renewable energy or applying CO2-reducing techniques. The SDE++ scheme has been in place since 2020. The new SDE++ scheme not only stimulates sustainable energy production but focuses on CO2-reduction as well. Through this scheme, the government aims to ensure the feasibility and affordability of the energy transition in the Netherlands. The total available budget of the SDE++ 2021 is 5 billion euros.
Applications are annual. Every year, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) publishes information brochures detailing the various application rounds which can be found here: https://english.rvo.nl/subsidies-programmes/sde-publications.
The 2021 annual round of SDE++ is open from 5 October to 11 November 2021. Within 13 weeks of applying a decision will be made on the application.
Amount
The total available budget for the SDE++ 2021 is 5 billion euros. The subsidy will be awarded for a period of 12 or 15 years. The maximum subsidy intensity to which SDE++ techniques are entitled in 2021 is 300 euros per saved tonne CO2.
Addressees
Eligible companies and organisations, both non-profit and otherwise, which are or will become electricity producers or carry out CO2 reducing techniques.
Procedure
The opening round contains 4 phases. In the first phase, only applications for projects with a subsidy requirement up to a certain subsidy amount per tonne of saved CO2 will be considered. This maximum will be increased step by step during the subsequent phases.
Applications for the SDE++ must be done at mijn.rvo.nl.
All applications will be considered mainly on the completeness of application and whether the project meets the subsidy requirements. A decision will be sent within 13 weeks of the receipt of application.
