The primary objective of the Support Scheme for Renewable Heat (SSRH) is to contribute to meeting Ireland’s renewable energy targets, while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The SSRH comprises an installation grant for heat pumps and an operational support (an ongoing payment for up to 15 years) for biomass and anaerobic digestion (biogas) heating systems. The SSRH was developed to incentivise the delivery of an additional 3% of heat use in Ireland to come from renewable sources. The current National Development Plan includes an allocation of €300 million for the rollout of the SSRH for the period up to 2027.
The Scheme is now open for applications for heat pump installation grants and for operational support. All applications should be made to the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.
