Frequently Asked Questions
Nationwide, over 1,000 community groups are registered with the SEAI’s Sustainable Energy Communities (SEC) programme. These local initiatives are at the heart of Ireland’s clean energy transition, bringing people together to ensure the shift is community-led and delivers real benefits locally, while helping households reduce costs. SECs also strengthen resilience in the face of rising prices and potential supply disruptions.
EcoVision exists to support and strengthen it’s members. Member communities benefit from over a decade of trusted expertise, play a key role in our governance, and can access community energy upgrades supported by SEAI funding, including grants covering up to 50% of costs for measures such as insulation, heating improvements, lighting upgrades and solar PV.
To become an EcoVision member, a group must be volunteer-led and democratically governed. Members propose projects that support a community-led energy transition that EcoVision then delivers. This can include: retrofit works (domestic, community, or commercial) Energy schemes (generation or electric vehicles) or Training and innovation (behavioural change or future energy-saving initiatives).
