Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. Declan Meally:

Yes. We have what are called pathfinder programmes with each of the different sectors. We have a pathfinder with the HSE, one with the OPW, one with the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science for the third level institutions, and one ongoing with Department of Education for schools.

For example, the Deputy asked specifically about the HSE. We have worked with the HSE over the past ten years. It recently developed a decarbonisation strategy for its buildings. With some of the hospitals, as the Deputy said, it is not about retrofitting. It will be looking at district heating and getting renewable heat.
