Demand for Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland grants and supports from Irish businesses are going “gangbusters”, according to its chief executive.

William Walsh said that increased commercial rooftop solar grants, supports for industrial heat pumps, and a forthcoming commercial retrofit scheme were all examples of the growing schemes available for businesses to decarbonise their energy use. Walsh was speaking at the Business Post at the International Energy Agency (IEA) Ministerial Conference in Paris.

Walsh pointed to the SEAI’s ramped up commercial solar scheme, which since its launch last July, had received 912 applications for 79MW of solar capacity and €15.8m of grant funding.

“That scheme has gone absolutely gangbusters,” Walsh said.

“We have seen huge uptake. Demand is massive. So, the supports are there and the appetite is there.”
