I propose to take Questions Nos. 168 and 250 together.

The information requested which has been provided by the SEAI is set out in the following table. Please note that the retrofit figures represent grants provided through SEAI, while SPV on new homes are typically installed to meet Part L Building Regulation requirements.

Year New Builds Retrofitted (SEAI Grants)
2025 1,855 17,158
Note:
  • 2025 data as of 21/07/2025
  • Retrofitted data from SEAI grants only, and does not include potential retrofits outside of SEAI grant
  • Data for newbuilds from the SEAI BER dataset BER dataset.
