The European Energy Efficiency Fund recently awarded Limerick Clare Education and Training Board approx. 335k for energy audits on their 50 schools. They also preapproved the LCETB for up to potentially €16m in finance for projects arising from the audits. The EEF financed the City of Venlo public lighting project. The Irish Energy Efficiency Fund manager, SDCL, will also speak (TBC).

Peter Keavney of Galway City Council is undertaking a comprehensive inventory of the city’s public lighting stock. He will talk about his findings (and immediate savings made) to date, and if completed, identified technical and financial opportunities for retrofit.

Finally, SEAI will overview all the different national issues regarding public lighting, and results of a survey of public lighting personnel as to their project plans and needs for 2015. The DCENR will give an update of relevant national policy drivers.

This event will be open to both public and private sectors. To register for this 2 hour briefing session at the Energy Show, 26th March 2015, RDS, please go to:
