Overview.

The SEAI Support Scheme for Energy Audits (SSEA) provides funding to help businesses assess and improve energy efficiency. Through this program, organisations can access grants to offset the cost of professional energy audits, identify savings opportunities, and enhance sustainability.

Who it’s for.

The SEAI Support Scheme for Energy Audits (SSEA) is designed to assist organisations of all sizes in improving their energy efficiency and achieving sustainability goals. Whether you’re an SME looking to cut operational costs or a large enterprise navigating regulatory compliance, this program provides valuable funding and expert guidance. Here’s who can benefit the most:

  1. Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)

    SMEs can leverage the SSEA program to identify energy inefficiencies, reduce operational expenses, and boost competitiveness. By funding professional energy audits, the program empowers smaller businesses to make strategic decisions that lead to long-term savings and enhanced sustainability.

  2. Large Enterprises with Complex Operations

    For large organisations with extensive facilities or multiple sites, energy audits provide the insights needed to streamline operations, reduce energy waste, and meet corporate sustainability objectives. The SSEA funding helps offset the cost of these comprehensive audits, making it easier to implement impactful changes.

  3. Commercial Building Owners and Property Managers (Private and Public Sector)

    Building owners and commercial property managers can utilise SSEA-supported energy audits to identify inefficiencies in fabric, heating systems, heating controls, HVAC systems, lighting, and other infrastructure. These insights help reduce energy costs and improve the environmental performance of their properties. Whether you own or lease your premises, an energy audit helps optimise energy use within your facility. For tenants, this means lower utility bills, while property owners can increase the value and appeal of their spaces to eco-conscious tenants.

  4. Energy-Intensive Businesses

    Industries such as manufacturing, food processing, and logistics often have high energy demands. The SSEA program is particularly beneficial for these businesses, helping them uncover opportunities to optimise processes, lower energy consumption, and reduce their carbon footprint.

  5. Growing SMEs Preparing for Expansion

    Businesses experiencing growth often face increasing energy demands. An energy audit ensures that your operations are energy-efficient and scalable, helping you avoid costly inefficiencies as your company expands.

  6. Organisations Looking to Access Grants and Incentives

    Our audit findings can support applications for SEAI grants or other funding opportunities aimed at energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Whether you’re upgrading equipment, installing renewable energy systems, or improving processes, the audit serves as a vital foundation for funding applications.

  7. Startups and New Enterprises

    Startups can benefit from embedding energy-efficient practices right from the beginning. Our energy audits provide a strong foundation for sustainable operations, ensuring long-term cost savings and environmental responsibility.

  8. SMEs Preparing for Energy Compliance

    With energy regulations becoming increasingly stringent, SMEs can stay ahead by proactively addressing inefficiencies and improving energy management. Our audits help businesses prepare for future regulatory changes while demonstrating leadership in sustainability.
