Powering Sustainable Growth: How Energy Efficiency Grants Can Help Your Business Thrive

At Azets Ireland, we’re passionate about helping businesses across Ireland grow sustainably and profitably. One of the most effective ways to achieve both goals is by taking advantage of government-backed supports like the Energy Efficiency Grant and the Green for Business programme — initiatives that are transforming how small enterprises manage energy use and sustainability. 
Smarter Energy, Stronger Business 
For small businesses in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown — and indeed across Ireland — these supports offer an opportunity to cut costs while improving long-term resilience. The Green for Business programme provides tailored expert advice to companies with between 1 and 50 employees, helping owners assess their current practices and develop realistic plans for greener, more efficient operations. 
The Energy Efficiency Grant complements this by covering up to 75% of eligible costs, with grants available up to €10,000. Funding can be used for a range of upgrades, from LED lighting and smart energy controls to advanced food waste solutions and refrigeration systems. The result? Lower energy bills, reduced carbon emissions, and a business that’s better equipped for the future. 
How Azets Can Help
At Azets, we understand that navigating grants and sustainability programmes can be complex. Our advisory teams work closely with clients to identify eligible supports, prepare applications, and develop strategies that maximise financial and environmental returns. 
If you’re ready to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and make your business greener, we can help you take the next step.
