Which CAEN codes fall under section D?
Section D ("Production and supply of electricity, heat, gas, hot water and air conditioning") covers CAEN division 35. The guides give the eligible list by class (4 digits), so your company's exact code matters.
How many active companies are there in electricity, heat and gas?
5,762 active companies have their main CAEN code in section D; 1,313 had employees in their latest financial statements and 627 were established in the last two years.
Does it matter whether the CAEN code is primary or secondary?
It depends on the guide: some programmes require the funded activity to be the main code, while others accept a secondary code authorised at the investment location. Companies now hold codes under CAEN revision 2 or 3; the lists here include the equivalences between the two revisions.
