F****ng Irish Government…!!!!

#

Started by Jobrok in Chit-Chat

We just finished our new house in the last few weeks. Moved in last Friday. When we were planning the design of the house we decided to have a Solar Water Heating System installed which is something I am really excited about having. We also pushed the boat out money wise and have bought a micro wind turbine which will generate most of our electricity needs. A high capital cost, I know. But these systems should, if managed properly, save us a huge amount of money down the line.

A new Government grant scheme has started today, for housing developments that use renewable energy systems instead of conventional fossil fuel systems.

A great idea. It’s about time. Nearly every other country in the EU has had something similar in place for years already.

With the system I have installed I would be eligable for a grant of up to €4000.

Except for one problem. It only applies from today on.

What a f****ng kick in the teeth.

Spent all morning looking into it.
Website! Email! Finally got a reply about an hour ago by phone, and they said that it is only from today on.

They are expecting a massive response to this grant, and expect a huge increase in these systems for the future. The budget is limited so they had to draw the line and are making it only available to applications from today on.

Also! To be eligable for the grant, you can only use products/installers/suppliers from an approved list. Any company who wants to be added to the list needs to register first.
And the application has to be pre-approved, before you install and commision the system.

An approved list consisting of their buddy’s companies no doubt!
