Companies must not have made any payment and/or any form of deposit to a supplier, vendor or third party prior to the EEG application. Otherwise, the application may be rejected.

Companies will have up to 1 year from the time an application is approved to purchase and install² the equipment, and submit claims for reimbursement. Once an application has been submitted, companies may choose to purchase the equipment before the application outcome. However, companies will not be able to make subsequent claims if the application is unsuccessful.

Only the actual purchase of the equipment is supportable. This excludes other related administrative fees/charges, e.g. delivery fees, installation. Companies can only claim up to S$5,000 under the LED lighting category.
