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

Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

I do not think so. What we do is a pre-works business energy rating, BER, on a scheme. If an applicant does not already have a valid BER, we do a pre-works BER. Of the applications from February of last year, which amounted to just over 10,500, somewhere in the region of 7,500 had a pre-works BER. For the remaining 3,000-odd, we do a pre-works BER.
