View answer101. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide a county breakdown of the amount of money spent and units upgraded under the better energy warmer homes scheme in 2010, 2011, 2012 and to date in 2013. [48486/13]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 100 and 101 together.
The Better Energy Homes and the Better Energy Warmer Homes Schemes are administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) under the Better Energy Programme.
The Better Energy Homes Scheme provides support to homeowners towards the installation of attic and wall insulation, and heating system upgrades including solar thermal with the works being undertaken by privately appointed contractors.
The Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme delivers a range of energy efficiency measures to low income households who meet the defined eligibility criteria of the scheme and who are vulnerable to energy poverty. The scheme is delivered through a combination of SEAI appointed Community Based Organisations (CBOs), augmented by a panel of private contractors in order to ensure national coverage. The scheme is also delivered through a separate strand via an area based approach. Measures available include: draught proofing, attic insulation, lagging jackets for hot water tanks, low energy light bulbs and cavity wall insulation and are free of charge to the customer.
The table provides details of the amount of Exchequer funding disbursed, and the number of homes upgraded with energy efficiency measures, by county, in respect of both Schemes, in 2010, 2011, 2012 and to date in 2013.
