Applications Open For GREBE Programme

The 'Generating Renewable Energy Business Enterprise' (GREBE) programme is now open for applications.

GREBE is a project to support renewable energy energy enterprises over the three-year period, 2015 – 2018. It is a transnational project operating across the West of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Finland, Norway and Iceland, and is part funded through the European Union's Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme 2014-2020, and focuses on the challenges of peripheral and arctic regions as places for doing business.

The project will be led by the Western Development Commission (WDC) in Ireland.

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is one of eight European partners involved in delivering the project. The Council's role is to deliver an 'Entrepreneur Enabler Scheme' pilot in the Fermanagh and Omagh area. The pilot scheme will engage with 12 SMEs in the renewable energy sector and offer them 6 days free mentoring support tailored specifically to their business needs.
