The investments can be carried out by a patrimony company that belongs to the same group as the enterprise applying for aid.

This applies to the following cases:

1. the patrimony company participates for at least 25% in the enterprise applying for aid;

3. a natural or legal person participates for at least 25% in both companies.

Which ecological investments are eligible?

The Ecology Premium Plus is only granted to technologies that are on the limitative technology list (LTL). This list contains about 30 technologies.

There is a version of the LTL that is subdivided into the following three categories:

• environmental technologies;
• energy technologies;
• renewable energy and combined heat and power.

Ecological investments that are eligible for aid through green certificates and cogeneration certificates are not eligible for an ecological premium.
