Ireland expands home energy grants for solar, battery and heating
Minister Darragh O'Brien announced enhanced supports from the National Energy Affordability Taskforce, effective 6 October, including fully funded solar PV and battery storage for eligible Warmer Homes Scheme households, a €2,000 boiler scrappage scheme for pre-2021 fossil fuel systems, and a temporary rise to 45 percent support for non-domestic microgeneration, heat pump and solar thermal grants. The measures sit within €640 million allocated for residential retrofit in Budget 2026.
Our readLifting business microgeneration support to 45 percent is the detail worth flagging to any commercial client weighing a solar or heat pump investment before the scheme reverts.
