What CCIA is & why it's significant ?? How CCIA will work & project types it will fund ?? Ways maximize CCIA's impact (spoiler! technical assistance ?? , partnerships ?? , and peer learning networks ???? )

On April 4, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced eight recipients of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, one of the most significant clean energy programs in the Inflation Reduction Act. Five of those awardees are on the receiving end of Clean Communities Investment Accelerator (CCIA) funding, which specifically focuses on bringing #CleanEnergy to low-income and disadvantaged communities that have been previously boxed out of the market due to high upfront costs. WRI Energy's Alexander Dane and Mansie Hough just released a new article explaining all about the CCIA: Why is it significant? How much money has been awarded, and to whom? What kinds of projects will the money go to? What additional legwork must be done to ensure the program’s success? Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/e7yhGQhF

Bit of a Rant ?? The grant scheme in Scotland offers an exceptional opportunity to drive the green energy revolution. However, the financing aspect of the scheme leaves much to be desired. Our business is facing significant challenges with funding, being owed over ￡100k from recent installations. While we support the scheme, the current situation is becoming increasingly unsustainable. The efficiency of a similar scheme south of the border highlights the need for reform. We find ourselves constrained, having to limit installations and downsize until payments are received. This strain is unnecessary and hinders our capacity to contribute fully. It's clear that improvements are necessary to unleash the full potential of this initiative. The targets, from our perspective, seem unattainable without a reformation of the scheme. We believe that with the right adjustments, our company could double its installation capacity. These challenges are likely shared by many other businesses in the sector. Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated. #Scotland #GreenEnergy #GrantScheme #BusinessChallenges #RenewableEnergy #FinanceStruggles #HomeEnergyScotland #GillianAnneMartin

Some positive news in the Green Energy Space for Budget 2025!! Budget 2025 also includes record funding of €469 million from the Carbon Tax for Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) residential and community energy upgrades, including the?Solar PV (photovoltaic) Scheme.?This is an €89 million increase on last year and means that more funding than ever will be available to make homes warmer, healthier, more comfortable and less expensive to heat. This will be supplemented by an increased allocation from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), that will increase the?Warmer Homes Scheme?budget to €240 million. This scheme provides free, fully-funded energy upgrades for low-income households at risk of energy poverty. The 2025 allocation for this scheme represents a 10-fold increase on the 2020 expenditure figure. Funding has also already been provided to further implement the?Home Energy Upgrade Loan Scheme,?which provides low-cost retrofit loans with interest rates available from 3%. In addition, Budget 2025 will see VAT reduced to 9% (from 13.5%) on heat pumps, making it more affordable for home-owners to switch to efficient electric heating. This is the lowest VAT rate that is allowable under the VAT Directive. This is in addition to the already generous grants that are available from SEAI.

Wessex Country Gammons are proud that our new solar installation is expected to save 11.3 tonnes of Co2 emissions each year.?
