What is the Power Up grant?

The Government announced the Power Up grant as part of Budget 25 for businesses in the Retail and Hospitality sector.  The Power Up grant has a budget of €170 million and the grant to eligible businesses will be €4,000. 

 

Who is eligible for Power Up?

There are two types of qualifying business:

  • A business that received the second payment of ICOB and continues to meet the ICOB criteria
  • Businesses in the hospitality and retail sector that did not have a rates bill in 2023 may qualify if they meet the criteria. Those businesses should check with their local authority to check eligibility once the scheme goes live.
