Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion

Mr. Jim Scheer:

Yes, in terms of the straight arithmetic, that checks out completely. There is also discussion on how to best leverage that money in terms of the aggregation model. It is hoped that we would achieve some economies of scale by that direct targeting in local areas and building up the numbers. Where the money is spent, private homes would be invited into that model. They could also leverage funds through the SEAI grant programmes, which would build a bigger pot of homes to be done. All those issues are being fleshed out now.
