Read This First
- 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.
- EDG is for custom transformation: strategy, innovation, process redesign, or projects not in PSG/EEG catalogues.
- Don’t “start” the project before applying: deposits, signed contracts/SOWs, or POs for the scope you want to claim can make you ineligible.
- All three grants cannot be used together for the same scope: you must choose one per project.
