Minister Coveney Announces New Energy Efficiency Grant for SMEs

The Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Simon Coveney T.D., has announced the launch of The Energy Efficiency Grant, a new support to aid small businesses on their sustainability journey.

The new support, available through the Local Enterprise Offices, will enable SMEs to invest in technologies and equipment to make their businesses more energy efficient. The grant will be available to companies who, through participation in the Green for Micro, GreenStart or SEAI Energy Audit programmes, have identified the technology and equipment need & benefits.

The grant will cover up to 50% of the costs to a maximum amount of €5,000. The scheme will reduce the impact of small businesses on the environment and may help them to reduce costs over time to enable them to become more competitive.
