National Residential Retrofit Plan: €640 million, targeting 73,000 home upgrades

SEAI Grant Funding.
Up to 90% covered.
Are you ready?

Zero-Cost Evidence: Under SEAI guidelines, the upfront connection fee for CryptoTricity’s data and monitoring platform is engineered to qualify as an eligible, fundable ancillary delivery cost inside your retrofit grant. You do not pay for it out of your operational or maintenance budgets.

The question is what's Available?

SEAI Community Energy Grants (CEG): The primary mechanism for housing associations doing estate-wide, multi-home upgrades. National Home Energy Upgrade Scheme (One-Stop-Shops): Ideal for AHBs looking to outsource the entire design, procurement, and grant management process under a single contract.

Why evidence collection starts now

A baseline cannot be created
retrospectively.

The pre-retrofit baseline is the foundation of every compliant CEG and NHEUS bid. You cannot go back and create it after the wave opens. Every month that passes without live smart-meter data is a month of evidence your bid will never have.

The data gap compounds

CEG bidders with twelve months of measured baseline data will outcompete those with three. The gap is not recoverable. The associations starting now are building an advantage that cannot be bought when the wave opens.

The 2027 EPC & Home Energy Model Reform Delay

The Government delayed the rollout of major domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC/BER) reforms, officially pushing the implementation date to the second half of 2027.

The Risk of "Sitting on Hands"

To de-risk this transition, AHBs must use real-world smart-meter data to baseline their properties now. Having empirical, live thermodynamic evidence of your stock's performance ensures that the retrofits you install today are mathematically guaranteed to meet the 2027 standards.

The 1,000-home pilot programme

Your Top 100 homes.
Before the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC/BER) reforms

Cryptotricity’s pilot programme connects up to 1,000 homes from your stock. Within that cohort, live smart-meter data from the ESB Network automatically surfaces the 100 properties showing the highest energy consumption, greatest retrofit need, and lowest current performance score.

The result is a prioritised, evidenced shortlist — ready for SEAI Community Energy Grants before the announcement, not after it.

🎯 The bottom 100 homes most in need of retrofit action, identified from live data — not desk-based estimates. Your next bid starts from a position of evidence, not assumption.

How the Top 100 are identified

1

Smart meters in 1,000 connected homes report live consumption data continuously.

2

The platform ranks every home by energy intensity, EPC/BER trajectory, and retrofit opportunity score.

3

The 100 highest-priority homes are surfaced with a verified baseline already attached.

Your SEAI Community Energy Grants bid is submitted with measured evidence — not estimates.

Standard AHB Retrofit Grants. What the grant funds you to receive

Evidence at every stage
of the project.

Standard AHB Retrofit Grants: Have been increased to cover approximately 75% of eligible upgrade costs. The most significant change for social housing providers is the substantial increase in standard grant rates.

Fuel Poor Homes

Welfare Support Uplift

Fuel-Poor Households: For social housing units where tenants are on qualifying welfare/social support payments, the grant rate rises to around 80%.

Combined Support

Continuous monitoring

Combined Supports: When these SEAI grants are combined with local authority energy efficiency funding and ancillary delivery cost grants, more than 90% of total retrofit costs can be covered in some cases.

Your Funding Vehicles

SEAI Community Energy Grants (CEG)

National Home Energy Upgrade Scheme (One-Stop-Shops): Ideal for AHBs looking to outsource the entire design, procurement, and grant management process under a single contract.

How CryptoTricity Fits Your Funding Strategy

Honest about
why AHB Track is structured the way it is.

Zero-Cost Evidence: Under SEAI guidelines, the upfront connection fee for CryptoTricity’s data and monitoring platform is engineered to qualify as an eligible, fundable ancillary delivery cost inside your retrofit grant. You do not pay for it out of your operational or maintenance budgets.

De-Risking 2027 Smart-Readiness: By installing our platform, you instantly establish the exact 13-month pre-retrofit baseline and smart-monitoring data required to secure current SEAI grants, while pre-formatting your stock to effortlessly meet the 2027 "smart readiness" compliance metrics.

No Stranded Assets: Rather than guessing which homes to retrofit, our data tells you exactly which properties are failing, ensuring you deploy your 75%–90% funding on the units that need it most.
