Public Accounts Committee

2021 Financial Statements of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Declan Meally:

Again, I agree we could all do more right across the public sector and businesses to avail of energy efficiency opportunities. From a public sector point of view, the Government mandate to reduce the temperatures in buildings saw a reduction to 19°C. We have seen a big uptake on that. Each public sector organisation has been mandated to look at its own energy usage. It is certainly part of the Government mandate, and we are helping businesses in this regard. However, I agree there needs to be an increase and that a big step change needs to happen to meet our targets for 2030.
