Rebates to help with soaring energy bills

A typical dairy farmer using 2000kw per month for a 100 cow farm could get a €192 monthly rebate.

The Budget presented a few months back by Minister Paschal Donohue announced a new Temporary Business Energy Support Scheme would be introduced to assist businesses in meeting the rise in costs of electricity and gas. 

That TBESS scheme has now come to life and businesses or their agents such as accountants or tax advisors acting on behalf of the business, can apply register for the scheme and apply for a subsidy towards the increase in electricity or gas costs. The scheme is open to tax-compliant businesses that carry on a trade or profession where there has been at least a 50%  increase in electricity or gas prices since the corresponding period in 2021 and the start of 2022.
