Support to generate your own electricity

There is no financial support available for homeowners who wish to generate their own electricity through domestic renewable technologies, such as solar panels.

VAT relief for energy-saving materials

Under the Windsor Framework, the VAT relief for energy-saving materials, previously available only in Britain, has been extended to Northern Ireland.

This means that installations of energy-saving materials, including solar panels and heat pumps, now benefit from a zero rate of VAT.

Homeowners should seek independent advice on solar panels, heat pumps, and other energy efficiency measures from organisations such as the NI Energy Advice service.

Those technologies may offer an attractive payback to homeowners without grant support.
