Summary
Climate Action Fund support will bring industry to the next step; this early-phase investment will underpin the future development of district heating networks.
Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment Darragh O'Brien has approved the allocation of €5 million to support pre-construction development costs for efficient district heating projects in Ireland. The funding will come from the Climate Action Fund (CAF).
Government policy supports the expansion of district heating in Ireland, contributing to the diversification of fuel supply and decarbonisation of the heat sector. Deployment of district heating at scale, particularly in densely populated areas with readymade heat sources located nearby, is a key government objective under the Climate Action Plan. It is also a key component in meeting the 'Built Environment' Sectoral Emissions Ceiling.
