At the start of the EIA a subsidy regulation for companies in the non-profit sector
was added to it: the Energy Investment in Non-Profit sectors (EINP). The goal of
this fiscal measure is to support investments in energy saving measures and/or renewable
energy in the non-profit sector (IBO, 2001). SenterNovem has total responsibility
for the execution of the regulation. The EINP addresses companies that
can not apply for EIA because they are not taxable on the basis of the Law of income
tax or personal tax. Instead of a fiscal incentive the EINP offers a subsidy for
energy investments.
Applicants for EINP can also use the Energy List in their search for energy efficient
technologies that are eligible. Under the EINP non-profit firms could obtain a subsidy,
depending on the size of the investment, between 14.5% and 18.5% of the
amount invested (IBO, 2001). In 2002 the EINP was abolished.
