A new era in the Irish energy is about to take off. Individuals, businesses, farmers, community organisations and sports clubs will be able to install renewable energy technology and get paid for excess power they return to the grid.
One of the first published tariffs, set at 13.5 cents/kilowatt hour , was offered by the clean energy company. This is the rate of payment to eligible customers selling their excess solar energy back to the company. Successful applicants will have access to a capital grant of up to €2,400 for solar PV installations of up to 6.0kW in the SEAI non-domestic solar PV grant scheme.With energy price volatility persisting, DECC – which has responsibility for energy – is working on a response in line with the toolbox of additional measures recently issued by the European Union. So supports/benefits for successful applicants in the microgeneration scheme are likely to be improved in coming months.
A rapid rise in demand for solar comes as no surprise, Connor says, as the energy market continues to grapple with supply concerns and rising energy prices. According to the research, the cost associated with installing solar panels was the biggest barrier for businesses investing in solar, being cited by six in 10 companies.
While there can be connection delays, and businesses often have more paperwork to do, and sometimes have to seek planning permission, it’s just slowing down projects, he says.
