recently ran in the Echo. Cork City Council, through the Cork City
Energy Agency is seeking householders to partake in a home energy
saving pilot scheme funded by Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI). The
purpose of the scheme is to improve the energy efficiency of homes and
to investigate what economies of scale are achievable when a group of
householders (cluster) come together to install common energy measures
through a single installer.
Summary of the Grant Scheme
- Grants of up to 30% of the capital costs and to a maximum of €2000
- All homes may have an energy assessment carried out and an energy
saving report will cost the householder €100
- Grants will be available for wall, attic or roof insulation, heating
controls and double glazing.
- The cluster member does not have carry out all the energy saving
measures. They can choose which measures they require and can afford.
- Landlords and owners of multiple properties may also apply.
- Each cluster member must complete an expression of interest form
which will be provided to you by the Cork City Energy Agency.
- Cork City Council through the Cork City Energy Agency will act as a
project manager for the pilot cluster.
Funding for the pilot cluster is limited in 2008. All remedial works
must be completed by the end of November 2008, and Cork City Energy
Agency encourages early expressions of interest as they will be
treated on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you require further
information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
