Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Implementation of the New National Retrofit Plan: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland

Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

Yes, we have two through the gate and 17 more coming. It is pretty much broadly in line with what we expected. I will give some additional context on that. We are taking a very significant and deep focus on the capabilities of companies that are prospective OSSs in terms of their quality management systems and also their ability to scale. We have a pre-eligibility questionnaire piece and then we follow up with a strategic plan. While we have been working with the OSSs prior to the announcement of registrations, we have been quite fastidious in terms of looking at those applications and making sure they meet those relatively high bars. We are about where we need to be. Obviously, we would like to be a little bit quicker but we want to make sure that we get it right and have all of the bases covered than to get it done fast.
