Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 27, 28, 35, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 68, 69, 73, 79, 80, 81 and 82 together.
My Department funds a number of grant schemes, administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), to support homeowners improving the energy efficiency of their buildings, and to promote the adoption of renewable energy systems. These schemes include grants for the fabric upgrade of buildings (e.g. insulation), as well as solar PV and heat pump installation.
Data from the SEAI show that in the period 2020 to end-April 2025 almost 179,000 property upgrades have been supported through the residential and community energy upgrade schemes, including the Solar PV Scheme. Of these, 62,555 have been upgraded to a post-works building energy rating of B2 or better. In the same period 14,076 heat pumps installations have been supported.
A record capital budget of €550 million for the SEAI residential and community energy upgrade schemes has been allocated for 2025 which will support over 64,500 home energy upgrades. In addition, a budget of €90 million will be provided by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage for the Local Authority Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme.
I have directed the SEAI to reply directly to the Deputy with the requested data on average costs of upgrades, solid fuel homes fitted with heat pumps, and BER ratings, in so far as it is available, as soon as possible.
