Acceptanceinspection

Payment· In principle, it is necessary to request estimates from three or more entities, and toimplement competitive bidding.
* Estimates will be valid providing that their issue date is later than the public application start date.

Projectcompletion(Program to support business operator pursuing rational use of energy )By January
31, 2018

I. Projects introducing EE&C
equipment & facilities
in factory/workplace· Be certain to enter into agreements and place orders only after the grant has beendecided.
If agreements and place orders are entered before the grant has been decided,
they will be exempted from the subjects for subsidies.

Considerations· These materials describe an outline of projects. Be certain to confirm the public application main points, etc.
when making applications.

· There are no limitations to industry categories or E&F.
· Applications can be made for projects that realize EE&C.
Please make your application after considering “which typeof EE&C facilities should be used in the renewal” and“whether to implement EE&C”.
· The methods for calculating the EE&C effect should bedetermined by the business operator.

II. Projects introducing
EE&C equipment inindividual facilities· There are no limitations to industry categories.
· The replacement of equipment & facilities should beselected from among the 10 classifications.
· If data is input to the subsidized project portal, calculation of
the effect and creation of application documents can beeasily done.

· After project completion (installation completion, acceptance inspection, payment completion), it will benecessary to submit a report of the actual results to SII.
The subsidies will be paid after SII has implemented a confirmatory inspection.
· After the facility comes into operation, it will be necessary to report the actual EE&C results to SII.
· It will be necessary to register the introduced E&F as fixed assets, and to continuously use the E&F during theirstatutory usable life.
If disposition of property is to be implemented on the introduced E&F, it will be necessary to obtain the approvalof SII. (It may be necessary to return the subsidy.)

Implementation of EE&C measures by selecting types ofsubsidies accordingly with the variety of the investment––

I. Projects introducing EE&C equipment & facilities in factory and workplace *1(a) EE&C countermeasures
These are projects for achieving by newly establishing energy
management systems (EMS) provided with functions including
measurement and visualization during renewals andimprovements to realize EE&C facilities.

If any of the following conditions are satisfied,applications can be made:(c) Energy management(b) Peak electric power
countermeasures
These are projects in which storage cells, heatstorage systems, or in-house power generating
equipment are newly installed in order to reduce
the electric power usage amount in the peakelectric power measure time band.

If any of the following conditions are
satisfied, applications can be made:

These are projects utilizing energy management systems(EMS)* provided with functions including measurement
and visualization that have been registered with SII inwhich “energy management support services” areconsigned to energy management business operators*
for more effective EE&C measures.
* These items should be selected using theinformation published on the SII website.

Projects which achieve an EE&C rate of 2% or morein the “EMS control effect and operations(1) The EE&C rate of the factory or workplace is 1% or more
(Units: kl).

(1) The peak measure effect rate is 5% or more
(Units: kWh).

improvement effect in EE&C audits, etc.*”(2) The energy usage amount of the factory or workplace is reduced
by 1,000 kl or more (Energy conservation amount).

(2) The electricity used in the peak measure timeband is reduced by 1.9 million kWh or more
(Peak measure effect amount).

Or projects which achieve a factory/workplace peakmeasure time effect rate of 10% or more (Units:kWh)(3) The cost-effectiveness realizes an EE&C amount of 200

kl or more for each 10 million yen of expenses to be
subsidized.
(4) The energy consumption intensity improvement rate is 1% ormore (Units: kl).

(3) The cost-effectiveness of a peak measure time

(4) The peak measure intensity improvement is 1% ormore (Units: kWh).

Expenses to besubsidized

II. Projects introducing EE&C
equipment in individual facilities(Units: kl)· Subject project : Payback period ≧5years· For “factories/workplaces with energy usage amounts of 1,500 kl or more” and “companies (joint-stock companies, general partnerships,limited partnerships, associated companies, and limited liability companies (deemed to include major companies)) that do not correspond tosmall and medium companies under the Companies Act”, only projects that are described in medium to long-term plans according to theAct on the Rational Use of Energy shall be subjects for subsidies.

*1: When introducing equipment that is subject to the Top Runner Program, only equipment satisfying the Top Runner Standards shall become subjects for subsidies. (I. Factory/workplace only)
Top Runner Standards: These are energy consumption efficiency standards which are determined from among the stipulated products referencing items including the EE&C level and anticipated technological progress of products that have the most outstanding EE&C
performance at that point in time.
*2: For “EE&C projects integrated between factories/workplaces” which are implemented by several business operators, the subsidy upper limit shall be 3 billion yen in any fiscal year for each project (I. Factory/workplace only).
