We provide early expert advice at the project concept stage. Tailored advice is offered to those involved in SEAI programmes, partnerships, or Agreements / LIEN.
A feasibility study will help to evaluate energy saving opportunities further. At the end of this stage, you can decide if a project is suitable to your organisation.
Up to 50% funding is available up to a maximum of €15,000 at this stage depending on the size of your energy bill.
The grant enables organisations to engage external resources to develop projects further. External resources include baseline quantification, asset assessment, procurement specialists, and project facilitation. You must incorporate a Pay for Performance element into the project to avail of this support.
