The Domestic Energy Efficiency Grants Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 (“the 2009 Regulations”) enable the Department for Social Development to make or arrange for the making of grant for the improvement of energy efficiency in dwellings occupied by persons on low incomes with children, elderly persons on low incomes and persons in receipt of benefit relating to ill health or disability.

These Regulations, the Domestic Energy Efficiency Grants (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014, amend the Domestic Energy Efficiency Grants Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 by increasing the limit of the Warm Homes Plus Grant from £4,300 to £6,500 and, where asbestos has been found within a property, the grant limit off £6,000 to be increased to £8,200.
