Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2022
243. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the estimated carbon emissions savings from the Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme, annually from 2013 to date in tabular form. [27444/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department launched the Energy Efficiency Retrofitting Programme in 2013 with the aim of funding retrofit of local authority owned homes requiring insulation and energy upgrade works. Since the programme commenced in 2013 over 75,000 homes have been retrofitted with a total exchequer spend of €184 million under the scheme.
The scheme will also help Ireland meet its commitments in relation to carbon emissions. Increasing the numbers of homes retrofitted will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the residential sector and will help Ireland reach its greenhouse gas emissions targets over the next decade.
