The cost of energy usage by my Department in the State in the years 2008, 2009 and to date in 2010 was as follows:
2008 | â'¬594,850 |
2009 | â'¬676,023 |
2010 | â'¬600,656 |
In addition to building-related energy usage, these costs also include Topaz charge card payments in respect of the purchase of fuel for official delivery vehicles, in accordance with a multi-departmental arrangement put in place by the Office of Public Works. My Department is currently participating in the National Procurement Service tender for the procurement of energy supplies on a centralised basis to Government Departments, which will come into force on 1 January 2011.
