Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Energy Poverty: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John Mullins:

The Deputy asked about constraints and commercial cannibalisation. Clearly, we are a charity. The donations we get will support the retrofit of immersion controllers, enabling those who are registered with us to have controllers fitted in order that they can avail of the hot tank. This is critical. We are fundraising to that end. I already mentioned SSE Airtricity in that context, but there are a number of others.

Each renewable energy generator project must now provide a community fund. I hope that my company will participate in order that EnergyCloud can be supported from a central point of view in meeting the retrofit requirement.

Another issue we face is automation. We are working on a solution to automate us so that we can scale up. That is critical. Does Mr. Lee wish to discuss this?
