In 2011 SEAI ran a grant scheme called “Better Energy Workplaces 2011″, under which funding was awarded for implementing a wide range of energy efficiency projects in the public, commercial, industrial and community sectors. This programme aimed to deliver a major increase in the pace, scale and depth of sustainable energy investments in upgrading existing buildings and facilities.

Frontline are hoping that this will come online early in 2012.

Funding was available on a first come first served basis and once the pool of reserves is allocated the scheme shall be terminated. This means you need to act fast in order to avail of the scheme.

Who could avail of the grant?

• The Scheme is open to projects and related initiatives for the sustainable energy upgrading of buildings, services, and facilities of organisations in the public and private (including community) sector.

What type of projects are eligible?

• Support is available for sustainable energy upgrades to buildings, services, facilities and processes, involving investment actions comprising individual or packaged measures, aimed at achieving on-going and lasting energy savings. Projects entailing upgrades to thermal, electrical or transport energy performance are all considered eligible.

What level of support is available?

• Non-commercial public sector: Support of typically 50% of eligible costs is available; although in some cases public bodies may qualify for support of up to 80%
• Private sector, voluntary/ community sector and commercial public sector organisations: Support of up to 35% of eligible costs is available. However, voluntary/ community organisations funded primarily by from public funds may be open to consideration for similar treatment as non-commercial public sector organisations
