Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 February 2019
537. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the number of households that have successfully applied for deep retrofit grants from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI, by county; and the value of these grants in 2017 and 2018, in tabular form. [5607/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deep Retrofit Pilot Scheme is investigating how to create a scalable offering for the deep retrofit of Ireland’s housing stock to an A3 Building Energy Rating (BER), while building consumer demand and contractor capacity for deep retrofit. Under the scheme Government is currently funding up to 50% of the total capital and project management costs for homes that achieve an A3 Building Energy Rating post retrofit. This will inform a model that can make deep retrofit available to individual homeowners on a larger scale post 2020, and will help Ireland move away from fossil fuels to clean renewable heating systems, such as solar and heat pumps. Any final model will also have to ensure value for money from the State's investment.
