The amount spent by my Department on electricity costs in each of the past five years to date in 2021 is set out in tabular form below. These costs relate to 12 premises which are used by my Department.

The Department cannot provide the energy costs in relation to our servers as these are hosted in the Revenue Data Centre. It is also not possible to quantify how much is spent on power for PCS and IT hardware, as these are not separately metered.

Year Electricity Costs
2017 558,062
2018 559,535
2019 495,239
2020 465,017
2021 426,805

I have referred the matter to the Garda authorities and will contact the Deputy directly when a response is to hand.
