Mr. Brian O'Mahony:

In both 2020 and 2021, through Covid we worked with local authorities on two main schemes, including the better energy community scheme, our community energy grant scheme, which involves the upgrading of either a pure local authority housing estate or a mix of homes. Along with that, as part of the national home retrofit scheme, we carried out a pilot programme in the midlands. We focused on certain areas and took different approaches in different local authority areas to see if we can do both private and local authority homes that are co-located. As was mentioned earlier, the project will conclude in the summer and we will undertake a review of what worked and what did not work. That will be fed back into the programmes for the next few years.
