Capital grants are not currently provided for the installation and operation of wind-turbines. The Renewable Energy Feed In Tariff (REFIT) support programme, administered by my Department, underpins the installation and operation of commercial scale projects producing electricity from renewable energy sources by providing guaranteed prices to new projects which meet the relevant criteria.

I will shortly be announcing a pilot micro-generation support programme which will include a programme for domestic wind. Further details will be available in the coming days.
