Renewable Energy Generation
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-28
============================================================

Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

The SEAI has a history of supporting community grant schemes. It has good outreach operations. It has been a successful and popular programme. It is more efficient than the administration involved in individual grant schemes. There is the administration of one large scheme. There is a large benefit for it. It contributes to a community getting switched over with buy-in from many people at the same time. This type of scheme is very welcome. Anything we can do to push community energy, and move away from renewable energy upgrades being individual or corporate and towards something that is a community action, is welcome. I will help the SEAI in any way to set up the scheme when I get the report.
