Denis Naughten: The smart meter programme was rolled out seven years ago. We have 1.6 million customers now on it. Why are we only now talking about putting a web page in place with the SEAI?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Energy Poverty: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

In January 2018, under Project Ireland 2040, significant capital funding was set aside for retrofitting homes, with a target of 45,000 homes per annum. Of course, Covid caused a problem after that.
