SSE Airtricity Generation Green Community Fund Consultation

Passionate about sustainability in your community? Have you had your say on the new €5m/£4.3m all-island SSE Airtricity Generation Green Community Fund?

Our consultation phase has been extended to 23 August. You can share your input by filling out our online survey at https://lnkd.in/e3nkASrj

You don't need to be based close to a SSE energy-generating asset to apply. The investment is part of SSE Airtricity’s commitment to create a more sustainable future for everyone, aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and our mission to support communities, homeowners and businesses on the journey to a net zero future.

Press Release

SSE Airtricity invites local urban and rural communities, as well as individuals, to actively engage in the consultation process for the newly established Generation Green Community Fund. This €5m/£4.3m million fund aims to support sustainability projects across the island of Ireland, offering a unique opportunity for participation in a transformative initiative.

The Generation Green Community Fund is part of SSE Airtricity’s commitment to customers, and the communities it serves, by supporting them on the path to net zero through education, awareness raising, as well as grant funding and energy efficiency supports. The consultation phase is now open, providing an opportunity for communities and individuals to share their ideas on how the fund should be designed and delivered.  

Welcoming submissions, Klair Neenan, Managing Director of SSE Airtricity, said: “Achieving net zero is in everyone’s interest and local communities will be at the heart of the energy transition. We know there are passionate people and groups working hard across the island of Ireland and we want to help them make a positive difference by powering up their sustainability plans. However funding can often be a barrier, which is why we’re delighted to launch our unique Generation Green Community Fund. 

We are eager to hear your ideas and vision about how this fund can best serve your community and advance our shared goals. The form takes just five minutes to complete and will have a real impact on how this Fund is administered. By actively participating in this consultation, you can shape and influence the programme’s design and delivery.”

The consultation process will help establish priorities for the Generation Green Community Fund, ensuring it focuses on what is most important to communities, for example green energy upgrades for community buildings, community biodiversity projects or green skills workshops and education.  

Following the initial consultation period, which ends on 23 August, the Fund will open to applications later this year. To submit your views to the consultation or to learn more, please visit: www.sseairtricity.com/communityfund.
