When managing an investment project, rigorous monitoring is crucial to ensuring that it is fully implemented, that deadlines and targets are met and that the incentive received is maximized.
What are the management activities/tasks? Here are a few of them!
Formalizing incentive payment requests;
Monitoring the execution of the project and its contractualized indicators;
Assisting in the preparation for on-site inspections and overseeing them on the day of the visit.

In addition, and limited to 20% of the eligible investment, renewable energy production (e.g. hydrogen), networks and storage solutions may receive support.
