The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) published details on the 38,000 home energy upgrades supported through Government funded grant schemes in the first nine months of 2024. This represents an increase of 11% on the number of upgrades for the same period last year, showing continued momentum in home retrofitting. Government expenditure across all schemes reached €279 million, up 34% year on year. Of the homes upgraded, 5,255 were energy-poor homes which benefitted from totally free energy upgrades. The headline outcomes during the first nine months of 2024, across all schemes administered by SEAI, were: 48,300 applications processed across all schemes, up 3% over the same period in 2023. 38,000 property upgrades were completed, up 11% over the same period in 2023. Over 15,000 homes were upgraded to a BER B2 or higher, up 24% over the same period in 2023. Over 5,255 upgrades for energy poverty qualifying households, up 26% on the same period in 2023. Expenditure across all schemes was €279 million, up 34% on the same period in 2023. Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan TD said: "Our retrofitting programme continues to expand which means that more and more people are waking up in warmer, more efficient and healthier homes every year. While we often talk ourselves down in Ireland, when I tell other energy and climate Ministers across Europe about our robust retrofitting rates, they are amazed at the percentage of homes we are reaching, year on year. We cannot be complacent, however, and we have to keep pushing on, particularly with our programme of free retrofitting for low income and energy poor homes. We must ensure that everyone can benefit from the clean, green energy solutions that are available." Dr Ciaran Byrne, Director of National Retrofit at SEAI said: "As has been the case for some time now solar PV is proving a very attractive technology for homeowners. And while application levels in some of the schemes have been somewhat flat in the most recent quarter, there has also been a general uplift in application levels towards the end of the quarter and into Q4. This is likely because during the summer months homeowners focus is often elsewhere. It is only when the colder weather arrives that homeowners focus tends to return to retrofit. "The Government, Department of Environment, Climate and Communications and SEAI have taken several actions during 2024 designed to increase homeowner demand and supply chain participation. These include: a new phase of SEAI's multi-annual marketing and communications campaign, new supports for homeowners availing of the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Scheme, and a new training incentive for heat pump installers. Dr Byrne continued: "Several scheme developments are likely to drive interest and participation in both the short and medium term. These include the support scheme for homeowners affected by Defective Concrete Blocks launched in September and the low interest Home Energy Upgrade Loan Scheme with more institutions due to sign up in the coming months. We are also excited about the traditional buildings pilot programme launched in October, which will provide vital evidence and data which will hopefully unlock access to grants for these typically harder to treat homes".

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) today published details on the 25,750 home energy upgrades supported through Government funded grant schemes in the first half of 2024. This represents an increase of 18% on the number of upgrades for the same period last year and shows the ongoing surge in home retrofitting. Government expenditure across all schemes reached €186 million, up 44% year on year. Of the homes upgraded, 3,300 were energy-poor homes which benefitted from totally free energy upgrades. The headline outcomes during Q2 2024, across all schemes administered by SEAI, were: 25,750 property upgrades were completed to mid-year, up 18% over the same period in 2023. Over 10,150 homes were upgraded to a BER B2 or higher to mid-year, up 34% over the same period in 2023. Over 3,300 of the upgrades completed to mid-year were for low-income households, up 41% on the same period in 2023. The average cost per home under this particular scheme is €26,400. Over 31,500 applications were processed across all schemes to mid-year, which remains unchanged over the same period in 2023. Expenditure across all schemes to mid-year was €186 million, up 44% on the same period in 2023. Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan TD said: "Today's report shows continued momentum and strong delivery across the SEAI retrofit schemes. We're going to build on this progress in the coming months as the impact of initiatives such as the recently launched retrofit communications campaign and the low-cost retrofit loan take effect. "I particularly welcome the 41% increase in the delivery of upgrades for households at risk of energy poverty under the Warmer Homes Scheme. This means that 3,300 low-income households have received upgrades and are now living in warmer, healthier and more comfortable homes with lower energy bills and lower emissions. This half-year report is a snapshot in time, but our retrofitting programme is a longer-term one stretching over the coming six years. We have to keep this upward trajectory going so that even more homes will be transformed over the coming months and years." Dr Ciaran Byrne, Director of National Retrofit at SEAI, said: "2024 is shaping up to be another significant year of delivery, with strong demand being shown across all the major retrofit programmes. The current delivery of retrofits comes from the existing pipeline of applications, and the key to ongoing strong delivery is having an active pipeline of applications. While there is some evidence to suggest that the application pipeline for some schemes may be softening, we anticipate this picking up later in the year as the benefit of the Home Energy Upgrade Loan Scheme begins to be seen, particularly as more lenders are now signed up to the scheme." "The Government, Department of Environment, Climate and Communications and SEAI have taken several actions during 2024 designed to increase homeowner demand and supply chain participation. These include a new phase of SEAI's multi-annual marketing and communications campaign, new support for homeowners availing of the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Scheme, and a new training incentive for heat pump installers. Dr Byrne continued: "On the supply chain side, it is particularly encouraging to see the launch, by the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (DFHERIS), of a new Domestic Heat Pump Installation Incentivisation Scheme for plumbers. This scheme will give an incentive of up to €500 where plumbers take time off work to upskill as SEAI registered heat pump installers. It is expected that by helping to offset these costs, the scheme will allow small and medium contractors to upskill their staff, gain extra capacity in an area that is in increasing demand, and help plumbers to future-proof their careers. It is anticipated that up to 300 plumbers will avail of the scheme between now and the end of the year and this could have a major ...

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has published a report giving details on the nearly 12,000 home energy upgrades supported through Government funded SEAI grant schemes in the first quarter of this year. This represents an increase of 18% on the number of upgrades for the same period last year, and shows the ongoing surge in home retrofitting. Government expenditure across all schemes reached €73 million, up 29% year on year. Of the homes upgraded, almost 1,200 were energy-poor homes which benefitted from totally free energy upgrades and 5,050 achieved a BER B2 rating or better. Quarter one figures do not take into account the new first low-cost loan which is expected to help expand the retrofitting programme even further over the coming year. The headline outcomes during Q1 2024, across all schemes administered by SEAI, were: Over 11,700 property upgrades were completed, up 18% year on year. Over 5,050 homes were upgraded to a BER B2 or higher, up 53% year on year. Over 15,450 applications processed across all schemes, down 1% year on year. Almost 1,200 upgrades for low-income households, up 25% year on year. Expenditure across all schemes was €73 million, up 29% year on year. 79 Approved Housing Body upgrades supported under the One-Stop-Shop Scheme, and 51 under the Community Energy Grants scheme to end Q1. Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan TD said: "These figures are ongoing proof that climate actions work. We are now getting to the point where nearly 1,000 homes right across the country are being made warmer and more efficient every week. And I expect that we will go even further as the year progresses. These quarter one numbers are reflective of what happened even before we hit go on the new low-cost retrofitting loan scheme - a first for both Ireland and the European Investment Bank. "This is going to shift our retrofitting plan into a whole new gear because it means that home-owners who may not have the immediate reserves can now get the low-cost financing they need to retrofit their homes. Low income homes and energy poor homes will continue to get free upgrades. I can only see this scheme going from strength to strength." Dr Ciaran Byrne, Director of National Retrofit at SEAI said: "From a results perspective 2024 has started off well, with almost all key metrics recording increases on the corresponding period in 2023. Retrofitting activity in the quarter is primarily driven from applications received in Q3 and Q4 of the previous year and these were relatively strong. The overall number of property upgrades completed and B2 upgrades completed increased considerably, with a sizeable portion related to continued high demand for the Solar PV scheme. The Warmer Homes Scheme continued the robust performance from last year with a 25% year on year increase in the number of fully funded upgrades delivered for households at risk of energy poverty. "It is also positive to see that heat pump numbers increased by 3% on the output reported this time last year. While this continued the upward trend, further work is required to drive heat pump uptake in the months and years to come. During Q1, we discontinued the requirement for a heat pump technical assessment to a heat pump grant for homes built after 2007. This will improve the customer journey for homeowners and is expected to increase demand for heat pumps. SEAI will introduce further measures to drive demand and delivery including a fresh marketing and communications campaign to launch shortly." Dr Byrne continued: "Overall, we can see that the cumulative number of applications across all schemes was essentially flat compared to the same time last year. This points to the need to continue the implementation of the National Retrofit Plan to overcome barriers to retrofit and further drive demand and delivery. Wider potential impacts on the sector also need to be acknowledged such as the challenge of scaling the sector in th...
