EDG, PSG, or EEG? Match Your Upgrade to the Right Grant

Use this guide to quickly pick the right grant for your operational upgrade. PSG is for pre-approved solutions (you can only claim for IT/equipment from the PSG catalogue), EEG is for energy efficiency (supports replacement of existing equipment with energy-efficient alternatives), and EDG is for custom transformation (strategy, innovation, process redesign, or projects not in PSG/EEG catalogues). All three grants cannot be used together for the same scope—you must choose one per project. This decision matrix helps you choose based on your upgrade type and project scope.
