The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has warmly welcomed the announcements in Budget 2025, which reflect the government’s ongoing commitment to tackling climate change and improving energy efficiency across the country. The new budget brings expanded funding for home energy upgrades, with a significant focus on insulation and renewable energy solutions, making it easier for homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their properties.
Key Highlights of Budget 2025 for SEAI Grants
- Increased Funding for Insulation Grants Budget 2025 has provided additional funding to the SEAI for home energy upgrades, with an emphasis on expanding access to insulation grants. The SEAI’s Better Energy Homes (BEH) scheme, which provides financial assistance for attic, cavity wall, and external wall insulation, will see further boosts, making these grants more accessible to more households.
- Support for Low-Income Households As part of the government’s focus on supporting vulnerable households, additional resources have been allocated to make energy upgrades more affordable for low-income families. These supports will help ensure that more households, regardless of income, can benefit from energy-efficient improvements such as insulation and heating system upgrades, resulting in lower energy bills and warmer homes.
- Acceleration of the National Retrofit Plan Budget 2025 reinforces the government’s commitment to achieving its climate action targets through the National Retrofit Plan, which aims to retrofit 500,000 homes by 2030. This includes enhanced SEAI funding for insulation and renewable energy solutions, encouraging homeowners to take proactive steps towards reducing their energy consumption and carbon footprint.
- Incentives for Renewable Energy Systems In addition to insulation, Budget 2025 has introduced expanded incentives for renewable energy technologies, such as heat pumps and solar panels. SEAI will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering these grants, helping Irish homeowners move towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
