Deliver Climate Action in your Community
The residential sector accounts for a quarter of the energy used in Ireland and is responsible for a quarter of the energy related CO2 emissions.
South Dublin County Council is working with partners to deliver the Sustainable Energy Community (SEC) programme to support communities in the County use less energy.
A Sustainable Energy Community is one where everyone works together to develop a sustainable energy system for the benefit of the community. This is achieved by:
- Being energy efficient
- Using renewable energy where feasible
- Adopting smart technology solutions
The Sustainable Energy Community programme is run by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), Ireland’s national energy authority. Sustineo has been appointed as local mentors and will be working with South Dublin County Council to help homeowners, sports clubs, community centres, local businesses and churches transition to Sustainable Energy Communities.
