View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 319 and 320 together.
More than 11,000 social homes have been retrofitted under the current Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme (EERP) since 2021, with a target of 36,500 local authority owned social homes to be retrofit to a post works BER of 125KWh/m²/yr out to 2030.
Some €140 million is available under the programme this year, this is an increase of €50 million on 2025, and will support the retrofit of approximately 3,500 homes.
Local authorities were advised of their respective 2026 allocations earlier this month, with work under the 2026 programme is already underway.
