Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2022
192. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the number of dwellings owned by landlords that have received works under each of the retrofit schemes in each of the years 2019 to 2021 and to date in 2022, in tabular form. [24848/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department funds a number of grant schemes, administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) to support homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. Since 2000, over 465,000 homeowners have upgraded their homes with support from these schemes, representing nearly one home in four across the country. This has resulted in warmer, healthier and more comfortable homes that are easier to heat and light.
The grant schemes in place to support homeowners to upgrade their properties include the fully funded Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme and a number of part-funded schemes such as the Better Energy Homes Scheme, the Solar PV Scheme and the recently announced National Home Energy Upgrade (Retrofit) Scheme.
The specific details requested by the Deputy are not collected by SEAI. The number of homes completed for 2019 - 2022 (to date) is detailed in the table below.
