My Department funds a number of Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) support schemes to help businesses to improve the energy efficiency of their activities.
The detailed administration and management of the SEAI schemes, including the Excellence in Energy Efficiency Design (EXEED) scheme, are an operational matter for the SEAI. As Minister, I have no function with regard to the evaluation processes in place regarding applications for the various schemes.
For it's part my Department has ensured that SEAI is sufficiently resourced in order to deliver across its work programme.
The SEAI has established a specific email address for queries from Oireachtas members so that such queries can be addressed promptly, in line with the SEAI’s objective to deliver services to the highest standards. The email address is oireachtas@seai.ie
