Batt O'Keeffe (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Through greater energy efficiency, individuals and businesses have the power to contribute to the 2020 vision. This will mean a change in behaviour and attitudes to achieve the target set out in the Green Paper of a 20% reduction in energy demand by 2020. The recently launched national energy efficiency campaign, The Power of One, is aimed at encouraging such behavioural change. The agenda will include setting higher standards, regulating for change and, where necessary, incentivising change. The campaign will also target individual sectors and for example, the public sector must set the pace.
