Energy Monitoring and Tracking Systems Grant

The programme is for manufacturing clients of Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland or Údarás na Gaeltachta. The relevant agency assesses eligibility. The application records whether your company is micro, small, medium or large and asks for any group-company structure.

For Enterprise Ireland awards, obtain one written quotation for equipment costing up to €4,999, and three competitive quotations or tenders above that amount, where applicable. Follow the National Procurement Guidelines. Select the offer that provides the best economic value, taking account of the evaluated costs and benefits; choosing another requires Enterprise Ireland's prior written consent. Keep the quotations and the reasons for your selection, and make a technical representative available to answer questions about them.

Enterprise Ireland awards use de minimis aid, a category of public support limited to €300,000 from each EU Member State over a rolling three-year period for the company and its linked group. Companies are linked when one controls another through majority voting rights, appointment or removal of most of its governing body, or dominant influence under a contract or constitution. Voting control through an agreement with other shareholders and links through other companies also count.

Declare previous de minimis awards to your company and group from all state bodies, including amounts and award dates. Count aid when the legal right to receive it arises, rather than when payment arrives. Enterprise Ireland identifies this aid in the application and Schedule A of the Letter of Offer. Keep the records for ten years from approval. Neither your company nor its group may seek other state-agency support for the same expenditure, and costs cannot be reused in another grant claim.

For projects supported through the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility, environmental law and the “do no significant harm” rules apply. Fossil-fuel activities are excluded, including later uses of the fuels such as generating heat or power. Qualifying natural-gas power or heat generation and related infrastructure are excepted only if they meet Annex III of the technical guidance.

Activities in the EU Emissions Trading System, which uses allowances to account for emissions, must project emissions below the relevant free-allocation benchmarks under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/447. These are the emissions benchmarks used to determine free emissions allowances for the relevant industrial activity. If emissions are below but not substantially below the benchmark, explain why. Landfills and harmful long-term waste disposal are excluded. Incineration and mechanical-biological waste treatment, which combines sorting and biological treatment, have limited exceptions:

• Plants exclusively treating non-recyclable hazardous waste are excepted from the incinerator exclusion. At existing incinerators, improvements may increase energy efficiency, capture exhaust gases for storage or use, or recover materials from ash.
• Existing mechanical-biological plants may improve energy efficiency or convert to recycling separated waste, composting bio-waste or digesting bio-waste without oxygen.

Those improvements at existing plants must not increase waste-processing capacity or extend plant life, and require plant-level evidence. Supply the environmental compliance declaration and a short justification with the application.

Start with your Enterprise Ireland Client Advisor; the official contact page connects existing clients with their advisor. IDA Ireland and Údarás clients should use their own agency's assessment route.

For Enterprise Ireland, describe the site's environmental strategy, existing monitoring, metering plan, utility costs and expected effect on trading and employment. Provide audited accounts no more than two years old and management accounts no more than six months old, including profit-and-loss and balance-sheet information, to your advisor before applying.

For the Enterprise Ireland application, provide the organisation's carbon footprint and its calendar year. If you use a method other than Climate Toolkit 4 Business, include direct emissions such as fuel and company vehicles and purchased-energy emissions (Scopes 1 and 2), excluding supply-chain emissions (Scope 3). For Recovery and Resilience Facility funding, give beneficial owners' names and dates of birth matching the central register. If nobody has a stake above 25%, give senior managing officials' names and dates of birth instead; organisations not required to register give the reason.

For Enterprise Ireland, any expenditure incurred before the application date makes the entire project ineligible. To avoid unfunded spending, wait for the Letter of Offer and its approved project start date before ordering or starting. Claim invoices cannot predate that start date. Check the offer for approved costs and the final claim date, by which expenditure must be incurred and a valid claim submitted.

The following payment steps apply to Enterprise Ireland awards. Submit one claim using a freshly downloaded Excel workbook, itemising each supplier invoice separately. Include quotations and selection analysis, invoices describing the equipment and cost, and bank statements showing the company name as in the offer, account number, payment date and payment details. Include the bank’s identifier code (BIC) and your international bank account number (IBAN), as requested in the checklist.

Ask your insurance broker to complete the official statement template confirming up-to-date plant and machinery cover; a copy of the insurance policy is not accepted. Have the managing director or two directors print the Director Statement on company headed paper, sign and scan it as a PDF. Keep the claim workbook in Excel. Convert foreign-currency costs at the payment-date exchange rate.

Email the full claim to IndustryGrantClaims@enterprise-ireland.com, with your company name and project number in the subject. Use the client number (CES ID) from Schedule A when encrypting files. Tax clearance must be valid both at submission and payment; provide your tax reference and tax-clearance access numbers. For your first claim, changed bank details or details not verified within two years, send bank.confirmation@enterprise-ireland.com a redacted statement showing the company name as in the offer, bank name and IBAN. Enterprise Ireland checks the evidence before approving payment to your company account; incomplete or late claims may be invalid.
