The Better Energy Homes scheme is administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) under the Better Energy Programme. The table below details the number of homes that have received energy efficiency upgrades and the amount of Exchequer funding disbursed under the scheme, since February 2011. The table also outlines the number of jobs supported across all the Better Energy Programmes since February 2011. This includes jobs supported by the Better Energy Homes scheme, the Better Energy Warmer Homes scheme and the Better Energy Communities scheme. It is not possible to estimate accurately the jobs attributable to each individual scheme under the Better Energy Programme.
