Renewable Heat Deployment Programme (ReHeat) is Now Closed

The Renewable Heat (ReHeat) Deployment Programme provided assistance for the deployment of renewable heating systems in industrial, commercial, public and community premises in Ireland. The programme was administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and provided grant support for qualifying renewable heating systems including Boilers fuelled by Wood Chips and/or Wood Pellets and Solar Thermal systems.

Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) Programme

The Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) is a tax incentive for companies paying corporation tax and aims to encourage investment in energy efficient equipment. The ACA offers an attractive incentive whereby it allows companies to write off 100% of the purchase value of qualifying energy efficient equipment against their profit in the year of purchase.

Elementary Energy is proud to be the first product provider to have their Wind Turbines and Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems pass the rigorous quality and certification process to be listed on the ACA scheme.
