The National Energy Retrofit Programme announced on Budget Day in 2010 has the objective of reducing energy costs and carbon emissions in homes and business while also creating jobs and developing a sustainable market for energy services.

I will shortly bring to Government proposals for the Programme in light of the detailed design and specification of the new programme currently being finalised by my Department and the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and decisions in relation to funding will be taken in the context of the 2011 Estimates process.
