The programme covers a wide range of **Eligible Expenses**: – Purchase of new equipment (and/or depreciation of existing equipments in certain conditions) – Gross salaries of staff assigned to the project – Travel expenses for staff taking part in the project – Expenses of consumables and supplies necessary for the project – External Contracts / subcontracting for implementing the project – Programme specific mandatory expenses (eg specific assessment information dissemination actions, audits, translations, reproduction), including the costs of any financial services (especially the expenses of financial guarantees) – Indirect expenses of the project **Eligible Projects** include, for example, investments in: – Improving the energy efficiency of electric drive systems (for example, increase the use of electronic controls, variable speed drives, integrated application systems, frequency converter, high-efficiency electric engines, replacement of the entire drive system with a high-efficiency system) – Replacing obsolete and oversized equipment (for example, power transformers, compressors, engines, etc.) – Improving energy efficiency of heating and cooling systems (for example, use of heat pumps, replacement of the existing boilers with new and high-efficiency boilers, modernization of the industrial heating/cooling systems) – Improvement of the energy efficiency of lighting systems (for example, replacement of the existing lamps with new and efficient lamps, use of digital control systems, movement sensors for lighting systems) → **other examples of eligible projects**. The programme encourages the development of **partnerships** between Romanian enterprises and companies from the Donor States (Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein). The **total budget** available for co-financing of projects is **EUR 6.953.000**  with a grant amount of minimum **EUR** **60.000 and maximum EUR 200.000** with **intensities of up to 70%** of the eligible costs. The approved projects must be implemented no later than: **30.04.2016.** The **EEA & Norway grants mechanism** has shown very good results so far on the Romanian market, during both its financial cycles (2007-2009 si 2009-2014), with a very high absorption rate among the programmes addressing the private sector. We encourage you to use this opportunity.
