My Department funds a number of grant schemes, administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) to support homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. Since 2000, over 465,000 homeowners have upgraded their homes with support from these schemes, representing nearly one home in four across the country. This has resulted in warmer, healthier and more comfortable homes that are easier to heat and light.The number of homes completed for 2019 - 2022 (to end May) is detailed in the table below.The SEAI has advised my Department that approximately 4,100 jobs (Full Time Equivalents) are supported through retrofitting based on 2021 completions.
