Micro-Generation Scheme

    Hi,

    I was wondering is the Micro-Generation Scheme still operating? I am asking as I am seeing conflicting reports online, on whether the scheme ceased as off 2017? Also, if it is still under operation, what is the quote given per kW/h when over 3000kW/h is produced, and how much is it to install the required meter?

    Finally, how long of a contract is given, i.e could the scheme cease within a few years and I be left with energy assets which are then of no use?

    Thanks!

    Hi theboss.com,

    Thank you for getting in touch.

    We need to advise that while the Electric Ireland pilot Microgeneration scheme is still in operation for customers already registered for it, it has been closed to new customers since the end of 2014.

    ESB Networks accept new applications for connection of micro-generators to the electricity network though, if you contact them directly on 1850 372 757.

    If you have any other questions for us in Electric Ireland, please let us know.

    Best regards,
    Una

    Thank you, does the 10c per kW/h remain the same under the Micro-Generator for ESB networks?

    Also, if over 3000kW/h is prodcued, what is the amount given by the ESB then?

    Thanks!

    Hi theboss.com,

    We don't have the above information in Electric Ireland, however ESB Networks are available on that number until 6pm. They are also available on that number on Saturday mornings.

    Here is the relevant page on their website also.

    Best regards,
    Una
