Programme Objectives
The Programme objectives will be achieved by supporting public and private sector energy efficiency projects in Ireland which are relatively labour-intensive and deliver:
- Maximum value for money
- Strong, measurable energy savings
Who Can Avail of the Programme?
The Programme is open to private and public sector organisations participating in at least one of the following SEI programmes:
What Projects are Eligible?
The grant support will be provided for energy efficiency project implementation
It is not limited to any specific project types or technologies per se. However, the Programme objectives will be best met if SEI awards grants to energy efficiency projects that:
- Will deliver significant, quantifiable annual energy savings – in terms of kWh saved per year- to the applicant organisations
- Are labour-intensive – as opposed to capital-intensive
- Will involve the direct engagement of specialist, contracted labour during implementation
- Build on the assessments and investigations already undertaken through the other SEI programmes
- Offer opportunities for demonstration and replication
The supported projects will be used as exemplars to demonstrate the savings opportunities and encourage others to act.
What Level of Funding is Available?
- Private sector: Up to 35% funding is available. Generally, grant support will not be less than €10,000 and will not exceed €100,000;
- Public sector: Funding of typically 50% is available, although in some cases support up to 100% will be considered, for public bodies which are engaged in non-commercial activities. Generally, grant support will not be less than €15,000 and will not exceed €200,000;
Eligible Costs
The eligible costs are:
- External labour costs
