The Energy Investment Allowance (EIA) has been a key instrument in driving energy efficiency projects in the Netherlands. However, the current high deduction rate risks attracting free-riders who would have undertaken the investments regardless of the incentive. A refined approach could enhance the scheme’s effectiveness.

Suggested Adjustment:
Reduce the deduction rate from the current level to around 40%, striking a balance between attractiveness and efficiency. This change would:

  • Minimize free-riding behavior.
  • Preserve the financial appeal of the program for businesses genuinely needing support.
