QUESTION NO.
QUESTION: Councillor D. Adelaide
To ask the chief executive the yearly funding provided to the council and accompanying number of homes retrofitted as part of the Local Authority Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme, since the programmes rollout (broken down by year).
REPLY:
The Energy Efficiency/Retrofitting Programme (EERP) was launched in 2013 with the aim of funding the retrofit of social homes requiring insulation and energy upgrade works. The programme was, in light of Programme for Government commitments, revised in 2021 and the table below lists the targets set for local authority owned dwellings in South Dublin County to be retrofitted to a BER rating of B2/Cost Optimal Equivalent (CoE). The revised programme provides for a significant upscaling in the level of funding available and focuses on ensuring that the fabric of the home is upgraded and an energy efficient heating system is provided, namely a heat pump. It should be noted that the programme was impacted by construction shut downs during Covid -19 pandemic.
