The Department of the Environment, Climate & Communications has recently launched a scheme that aims to support SMEs to establish their own export renewable electricity projects. Support is provided in the form of a guaranteed tariff for their electricity produced and is provided for 15 years.

To apply for the scheme, applicants must complete the application form, which is included in the Application Information Pack and can be accessed here. Completed application forms must be returned to sress@decc.gov.ie. Applications will be processed in the order they are received, and once the volume for successful applications has been reached, no additional applications will be accepted.

More information on the scheme can be found here.
