On behalf of the Utility Regulator in Northern Ireland, Energy Saving Trust is the Programme Administrator of the Northern Ireland Sustainable Energy Programme (NISEP). This is an £8 million fund, collected from both domestic and commercial electricity customers through a public service obligation (PSO). Households across Northern Ireland can benefit from the NISEP with funding being used for such energy efficiency schemes:
- Boiler upgrade
- LED light bulbs
- Hot water tank jacket
- Water widget
- Remote smart heating controls
- Radiator panels
- Draught proofing
The majority of the funding (80%) has been targeted at vulnerable customers. All schemes run on a financial year basis and there are currently 12 scheme managers delivering these schemes.
NISEP schemes for 2022-23 are now open. Please follow the instructions below on how you can apply.
