Dr. Stjohn O'connor:

The public sector is really interesting and probably an area in which I do not get to spend as much time as I would like. We have a 33% energy efficiency target in the existing energy policy framework and in the past couple of years, with the SEAI, we have been collecting all of the gas and electricity meter points, the idea being that if we can measure exactly what the public sector consumes, we can start to target it specifically. This has not been done anywhere else in the world. This year we will be producing an annual report or, effectively, a set of league tables around the high energy users in the public sector. That is all based on our being able to collect the data. It is a significant project and every year it will get better, with more meter point reference numbers and gas point registration numbers, giving a more comprehensive picture of energy consumption in the public sector.
