Public information event regarding clean energy solutions announced for Tipperary
The event hopes to bring together individuals and groups who want to deliver cleaner, cheaper energy solutions in Tipperary.
A public information event on clean energy solutions will take place on Wednesday September 17 in the Moycarkey-Borris Community & Sports Centre, in the village of Littleton, Tipperary.
The meeting hopes to bring together individuals and groups who want to deliver cleaner, cheaper energy solutions in their community.
The event will provide an opportunity to network and learn from what others have done, with updates on energy projects currently underway.
There will be funding and technical advice from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), Tipperary Energy Agency (TEA), EcoVision, Community Power, and Tipperary County Council.
Speaking about the event, Gearóid Fitzgibbon, SEAI Sustainable Energy Communities Mentor for Tipperary said, “Tipperary is a leader in Ireland for community-led energy renovation and generation. With many changes in supports and policy over the last few years, we want this event to support the next generation of projects in the county.”
This event is in response to queries received last April at a Decarbonising Zone public information event in the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), Thurles. That event focussed on the range of services available to support the transition towards Low-Carbon Communities within the Tipperary Decarbonising Zone (DZ) and surrounding areas.
Commenting further Alan Walsh, Decarbonising Zone Officer, with Tipperary County Council said, “the Decarbonising Zone includes 12 village communities, with agricultural hinterlands. It encompasses the Bord Na Móna bogs.
"Tipperary County Council is supporting community-led initiatives to save money on energy bills and reduce our reliance on
fossil fuels”.
The event will commence at 7.00pm on Wednesday September 17 with light refreshments on arrival and information stands with advice from the key service providers. Then a number of community case studies will be presented as examples of good practice for what can be achieved.
Those who attend will hear from experts on specific topics such as building retrofitting, rooftop solar, and renewable electricity generation.
