Energy efficiency investment amounts to €155m (%16). €40m will go to the de-risking of a low cost residential retrofit loan scheme through the use of loan guarantees and €60m is allocated to a Public Sector Retrofit Pathfinder project and a Public Sector Buildings’ Energy Retrofit Programme for deep retrofit of public offices. An accelerated decarbonisation of the enterprise sector through the provision of support for Irish SMEs and exporters to address their emissions is also foreseen and receives €55m. Further funding of €114m will be available under priority 3 which includes the SOLAS Green Skills Action programme covering energy renovation and NZEB upskilling as well as other skills for a low-carbon economy.
