Community Energy
The Community Energy Grant (CEG) Scheme is a programme suitable for homeowners or landlords who wish to upgrade multiple elements of their property. There are significant benefits to this approach, and therefore, SEAI offers substantial bonus grants to assist you if you are carrying out a larger project. The CEG easily combines with the Vacant & Derelict property grant, and also allows the flexibility to use local contractors.
To learn about the pros and con’s feel free to attend our free seminars. You’ll get a general introduction to each of the grants. Q & A section.

How Can We Help You With CEG?
What is a CEG Scheme?
The CEG scheme has all the same benefits and bonus payments as the OSS, but may be more practical for many projects. The scheme eligibility criteria and financial incentives are the same, but the contractual arrangement is slightly different. If the OSS provider is carrying out all of the customer’s required work over a short period, the OSS grant programme is a good solution.
The CEG scheme allows the building contractor to provide the relevant paperwork/evidence to the CEG coordinator, who will then arrange the grants to finance the proposed project. As part of the national retrofit initiative, strict quality guidelines need to be met, and specialist SEAI-registered contractors need to be engaged where necessary. New approaches to achieving energy efficiency in Irish communities are transforming the way we think about sustainability and reducing carbon footprints across the nation. To learn more about the CEG program, call us or join a weekly online seminar.
Are You Eligible for CEG Scheme Funding?
The CEG is available to homeowners and private landlords whose property or home meets the following criteria:
- For houses built before 2011
- Must achieve a BER of B2 or higher after upgrades
- Upgrades must reduce the homes energy consumption by >100 kWh/m2.a
- HLI (if HP is being installed) must be <2.0 W/m2.K
- SR 50 Needed for Heat Pumps – This provides calculations and evidence that a heat pump is suitable for the house.
- If the HLI is between 2.0 – 2.3 W/m2.K, individual fabric element backstops will apply and an Air Tightness test may be needed
- BERs & Technical Assessments need to be current, i.e. less than 12 months from the application date.

How can we help you?
Reduce Your Energy Costs with SEAI Community Grant Support
If you’re noticing your electricity bill climbing, it might be time to consider investing in a more sustainable future, like installing solar panels. Solar energy is an effective way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and cut down on electricity costs. With the right solar PV panels in place, you can generate electricity for your home and even sell the excess back to the grid.
The process begins with a consultation from AshGrove. A certified installer will assess your home’s energy needs and recommend the best PV panels for your property. From there, the installation team handles the setup, ensuring everything is ready to go.
