The Energy Efficiency/Retrofitting Programme was launched in 2013 to improve the insulation standards and overall energy performance of local authority social housing stock. Phase 1 of the programme provided funding targeted at the less intrusive cavity wall/attic insulation, while Phase 2 focuses on the fabric upgrade works to dwellings with solid/hollow block wall construction and includes the provision of heating upgrades.
Since the programme commenced, over 68,000 social homes have been insulation retrofitted, with a total exchequer spend of €128 million under the scheme. The following is a breakdown by local authority, of the number of social homes insulation retrofitted under the scheme between 2013 and 2018:
