I propose to take Questions Nos. 70 and 86 together.

While a Further Revised Estimates Volume (FREV) was published in May 2024 following the transfer of the marine functions to my Department, the 2024 allocation under Subhead B04 remained unchanged.

The Microgeneration Support Scheme (MSS) was approved by Government on 21 December 2021, to support Ireland’s ambitious targets for micro-generation installations, under the Climate Action Plan 21. The MSS provides supports to both domestic and non-domestic applicants, in the form of grants for Solar PV installations, which are available through the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). Domestic grants are currently available for up to a maximum of €1,800.

The table below shows the average size for solar pv installations that were supported under the Domestic SPV scheme, over the last 3 years. The average costs shown are self-reported by installers/customers as part of the grant application process and cannot be verified by SEAI.
