Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

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

Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

No. To be clear, we are in the process of pivoting that programme so that when we move from the shallower retrofit into the deeper retrofit, which is the B2, first, this costs considerably more. The average contribution for a home a number of years ago home was approximately €3,000. It is now up around €18,000, €20,000 and €27,000 for the warmth and well-being scheme. That is because we are doing significantly more and deeper measures that take longer. There is a fine line then between doing as many homes as possible and bringing as many to the B2 standard as we can. Over the coming period, the plan is to increase incrementally to the point where they will all ultimately be B2-rated.
