TAMS 3 guide: What’s eligible and how to make the most of your grant

The Solar Capital Investment Scheme has a 60% grant rate and its own independent ceiling.
More than €70m has already issued to farmers under the Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) grants for farm buildings and equipment.
Agriculture minister Martin Heydon has said it is a demand-led scheme with a defined budgetary allocation up to the end of 2027, and it may be necessary to limit the number of approved applications per tranche going forward, by applying ranking and selection criteria, including for the upcoming tranche 9, which opened on June 7 and will close on September 6.
