This means thatproducers receive a subsidy for sustainable energygenerated and not for the purchase of the productioninstallation, as with an investment subsidy. TheSDE is aimed at companies and (non-profit) institutionsthat want to produce sustainable energy. Thecost of sustainable energy is higher than that of greyenergy, so the production of sustainable energy isnot always profitable. The SDE reimburses the differencebetween the cost of grey energy and that ofsustainable energy over a period of 12 or 15 years.This involves a phased opening up of the differenttechnologies. For each phase the subsidy amountincreases per kWh, but the chance that the subsidywill actually be obtained falls. This challengesapplicants to invest for the lowest possible operatingcosts. As of 2014 a SDE+ subsidy excludes the taxbenefit of the EIA (see above).5.6 Foreign marketsPSI (Private Sector Investeringsprogramma)(Private Sector Investment Programme)The purpose of the Private Sector InvestmentProgramme (PSI) is to contribute to the sustainableeconomic development of a number of developingcountries with the use of the knowledge and capitalavailable in Dutch companies and institutions.
