QUESTION: Councillor D. Adelaide

To ask the Chief Executive the yearly funding provided to the Council by the Government, and the accompanying number of homes to be retrofitted for 2025?

REPLY:

The Energy Efficiency/Retrofitting Programme (EERP) was launched with the aim of funding the retrofit of social homes requiring insulation and energy upgrade works over a 10 year period.

For 2025, South Dublin has been allocated a preliminary target of 83 homes with funding from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage of €2.82 million. The programme allows for an average spend of €34,000 per property on eligible energy efficiency works. There is also an addtional €169,320 funding available for project managment fees.
