Electricity Generation - Renewables
• Drivers
• European Union
– EU Directive 2001/77/EC (RES-E directive).
• DCENR – White Paper on Energy (2008)
– 15% electricity from renewables – 2010
– 40% electricity from renewables - 2020
• DEH&LG – Planning Exemptions for Micro Gen.
– SI 83 of 2007 (Domestic)
– SI 235 of 2008 (Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural &
Public)

Built Environment & Residential
• Drivers
• European Union
– EU Directive 2002/91/EC (EPBD).
• DEH&LG
– SI 666 of 2006
– Building Control Act 2007
– Building Regulations 2008 - 2016.
•
•
•
•
2008 – introduction of Renewables
2010 – greater insulation standards & increased renewables
2013 – effective introduction of micro generation
2016 – Low Carbon standards are sought
Built Environment & Residential
Action:
Who:
When
Review planning application/building control processes to Each
consider requirement for BER at planning stage
LA
Through CDP
Seek additional resources to increase activity in relation to Each
Building Control
LA
On-going
Complete BER assessments of all Local Authority housing Each
stock and include BER rating as part of refurbishment plans
LA
On-Going
Home Energy Saving Scheme Pilot Project – MWR findings
• Many houses are poorly insulated
• Many houses not insulated / heating controls to building regulations
• Local Authorities / Public bodies to take a lead in building standards of
own housing stock, refurbishment & new.
Built Environment & Residential
Large Public Buildings
•
•
•
Building fabric & heating system standards in Large buildings to
be demonstrated by Local Authorities and sought in planning
applications for new build and refurbishment
Planning applications for new large buildings to require minimum
levels of renewable energy to meet electrical and / or heating
needs
Large public buildings to take lead in the use of renewable heat
energy (biomass / solar etc).
Biomass Heating
• Drivers
• Target of 12% of heating to come from renewables by
2020
• Biomass and bioenergy present the greatest opportunity
in the MWR
• Funding to complete Regional Bioenergy Action Plan
• Biomass and Bioenergy offer significant regional
opportunities
– Job creation
– Import Independence – local fuel supply
– CO2 savings
• Local and Regional Opportunities
– Commercial and Public buildings
– District Heating
– Combined Heat and Power
Biomass Heating
• Making it happen
– Market push - resources
• Farmers growing crops e.g Miscanthus
• Forestry growers and providers
– Market push – conversion technology
• Equipment suppliers and installers
– Market Pull
• Public Sector should be key driver
• Awareness for potential end-users
• Potential ‘competition’ due to co-firing proposal at
Moneypoint
Biomass Heating
Action:
Who:
When
Quantify the thermal generation requirements for the region/counties
and the contributions made by the various generators. Note R.E. targets.
RA and
LEA
On-going
Secure funding for roll out of Clare Wood Energy Project to full Mid
West Region and implement same
RA
December 2008
Ensure new large residential/commercial/industrial developments
complete feasibility studies of renewable heating prior to planning, as
per EPBD Requirements
Each LA
Each LA
• Recommended Policy
• All Commercial and Public buildings should
have Renewable Energy Supply integrated into
design such that 25% of demand (thermal and
electrical) is provided by renewable energy.
Transport
• Drivers
• Transport the fastest growing sector in terms of
energy consumption and CO2
• Challenging for one entity to make significant
impact
• Integrated approach is vital but very difficult to
achieve

Transport
• Options for reducing transport energy use and CO2
emissions
– Modal Shift – creating viable alternatives to the single car
journey
• Integrated Bus/Rail services
• Walking
• Cycling
– More efficient use of vehicles
• Car pooling
• Car Sharing
• Eco-Driving
– Eliminating Car Use
• Smart Working Environments
• Financial Incentives/Penalties
Transport
Action:
Who:
When
Mobility Management/Travel Plan to be developed for each
County Hall/Civic Office
Each
LA
2009
Annual review of travel plans in each LA
Each
LA
July annually
• Suggested action(s)
– Local authorities complete on-going works on mobility
management plans
– Local authorities participate in Regional Integrated Transport
Working Group to
• Investigate Local Transport Plans as required under the National
Sustainable Transport Policy (See Chapter 7)
• Assess training and resource needs on sustainable transport
Conclusions
• Opportunities
• Cost Savings
• Shannon Energy Valley
• Role of Local Authorities
