The SEAI Community Energy Grant supports energy efficiency community projects through capital funding, partnerships, and technical support. The programme supports new approaches to achieving energy efficiency in Irish communities through supporting the upgrade of homes, community buildings and businesses right across Ireland to become more energy efficient and reduce costs. The initiative aims to deliver energy savings to homeowners, communities, and private sector organisations. All projects are community oriented with a cross-sectoral approach.
