My Department funds a number of schemes to support households, businesses and the public sector to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. SEAI administer these schemes on behalf of my Department.

Budget 2023 allocated record funding to energy transformation including the national residential retrofit programme and free upgrades for households at risk of energy poverty.

Residential and community schemes, including the Solar PV schemes have been allocated a total budget of approximately €360 million, while approximately €80 million is earmarked for energy efficiency and renewable energy schemes in businesses and the public sector, including a new scheme for SMEs.

A breakdown of the current and capital allocation for 2023 for each retrofit scheme is set out in the below table. In addition to these energy efficiency and renewable energy schemes SEAI is funded to administer a number of other information and research programmes and regulatory schemes.
