My Department does not provide grant aid for wind turbines. The current renewable energy support programme, known as the Renewable Energy Feed In Tariff (REFIT), is a fixed feed in tariff mechanism. This means that an applicant may submit an application at a fixed price based on technology and, in the case of wind, the capacity of the project. The reference price values and indexation permitted in REFIT programme are capable of delivering projects without recourse to grant aid. The terms and conditions of REFIT are available on my Department's website at www.dcmnr.ie.
