SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, March 13, 2023
QUESTION NO.3
QUESTION: Councillor Carly Bailey
To ask the Chief Executive, to confirm the number of local authority owned residential properties that have been retrofitted to a B BER rating in tabular form, over the last five years.
REPLY:
The Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme (EERP) was launched by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage in 2021 with a national target of retrofitting 36,500 local authority owned homes to a BER rating of B2/Cost Optimal Equivalent by 2030.
The delivery of the programme has led to increased demand from local authorities for the required assessors and contractors and industry capacity to meet that demand has been an issue affecting the programme roll-out.
The current average grant available per property is €36,000 and since the launch of the programme, funding approval has been received from DHLGH for retrofit works to 263 properties in South Dublin. Works are ongoing or completed for 236 properties to date with a further 80 properties to go to tender by the end of March 2023 and an additional 100 properties assigned to obligated parties for pre-works surveys. While DLGH have not yet confirm our allocation for the 2023 programme and subsequent years, our Planned Maintenance Section are continuing to progress plans for an expansion of the programme.
The overview properties included in the South Dublin EERP is as follows:
