Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Retrofitting Schemes: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland

Mr. Brian O'Mahony:

There are 12 one-stop shops registered and we are in discussions with ten of them. Some of them have national reach and others have regional reach. There are some in Cork that mainly focus on the Cork-Kerry-Waterford-Tipperary region. There are other one-stop shops in Cork that do everywhere in the country.

We are also engaged with the CIF and the construction sector to try to bring in new entrants, such as the existing construction companies working in the commercial and residential space. We have the community energy programme where we have project co-ordinators who deliver a lot of upgrades in community projects and we are trying to bring in those key actors who are not in the one-stop shop or pure retrofit space.
