For the last 20 years, Power NI has successfully secured funding for businesses through the Northern Ireland Sustainable Energy Programme (NISEP).
The NISEP scheme is an energy improvement fund used to provide grants for energy efficiency schemes and is funded with money collected from electricity customers through a Public Service Obligation (PSO), with 80% of funding used for vulnerable customers.
If your business would benefit from installing energy saving technology, Power NI offers an opportunity to apply for 20% funding through NISEP. The energy improvement grants under this scheme include: LED Lighting, LED Curing, Intelligent Heating Controls, Variable Speed Technology, Solar PV, Solar Thermal, Boiler Replacement, Voltage Optimisation, Induction Hobs, Infrared Heating, Heat Pumps, Heat Recovery, Steam or Heated Regeneration Dryers, Turbo Blowers and Sonic Leak Detection.
Power NI provided funding to 81 projects in 2023/24, helping businesses invest in their energy efficiency efforts from various commercial sectors including leisure, hospitality, offices, retail and manufacturing, resulting in lifetime savings of over 70GWh.
Janine O’Donnell, Energy Services Programme Manager at Power NI commented, “Power NI is delighted to have been able to help businesses across Northern Ireland reduce their energy consumption and their carbon footprint, through the NISEP Scheme.
“We have received lots of applications for the 2024/2025 scheme already and are looking forward to more businesses investing in energy saving technology and moving forward on their sustainability journey.”
