Energy roadshow to take place in Limerick

A UNIQUE energy roadshow takes place in Limerick on Monday, April 22. 

Limerick City and County Council, in collaboration with EirGrid, ESBN and SEAI will outline details of Limerick’s involvement in the Horizon 2020 project, +CityxChange, at the EirGrid Energy Citizens Roadshow.

For the five years of this Horizon 2020 project, Limerick City and County Council have worked with several expert partners to integrate smart, positive energy solutions for a more sustainable future in Limerick County. 

Kieran Reeves, Climate Action Co-ordinator with Limerick City and County Council said, “The +CityxChange Horizon 2020 project focused on the development of a positive energy district in the heart of Limerick City Centre and led to the creation of the Citizen Innovation Lab.

"We now have a space where people can work together and explore local responses to issues such as climate change and to help co-create the future we want to live in.

"I look forward to sharing more about our achievements and learnings from the project with members of the public at the EirGrid Energy Citizens Roadshow later this month.”
