Power Up Grant

The Power Up Grant is financial support to assist businesses in the hospitality and retail sectors. NOTE: The date for registration for the grant has been extended to Friday 22nd November 2024

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 individual grant to eligible businesses will be €4,000.

Who is eligible for Power Up?

There are two categories of qualifying businesses:

  • 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

Register before Friday 22nd November 2024

Clare County Council is now emailing businesses who may be eligible for the Power Up Grant. The email includes details of how to register. Don't delay in registering if your business is eligible. The Power Up Grant portal is open for a limited time in order to get payments to businesses before the end of the year.

Registering is similar to ICOB registration and is quick and easy. Please go go mycoco.ie/powerup for further information or check out the Frequently Asked Questions from the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment.

If you have not received an email and think you may be eligible, please contact Clare County Council.
