The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) administers a range of grant schemes to support homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. Partial grants are available for individuals that can afford to contribute to the cost of upgrades as well as free energy efficiency retrofits for people at risk of energy poverty.
The following tables present public funding in 2019 and 2020 per county under the schemes where such data breakdown is available.

Expenditure reported for Better Energy Homes, Better Energy Warmer Homes, Deep Retrofit and Solar PV schemes refers to grant expenditure only.
In addition, projects under Community Energy Grant and Better Energy Finance schemes typically aggregate properties from across a number of counties so it is not possible to report expenditure on a county by county basis. The expenditure for these schemes is shown in the tables below.

Expenditure reported for Community Energy Grants refers to total capital expenditure. Expenditure for Better Energy Finance is rounded.
In certain cases, expenditure can be incurred and accounted for in a year different to the year when projects are physically completed and counted as such.
