Energy Aids Payments Scheme
As a results of CAP reform, the Energy Aid Payments Scheme is available through the Rural Payments Agency. It enables aid to be claimed in respect of crops which are grown to be used for the production of energy (for heat, electricity or transport fuels) on land which has not been set-aside.
