The ‘Community Led Just Transition North Tipperary’ Project is a collaboration between Energy Communities Tipperary Cooperative CLG (ECTC) and Littleton Development Association CLG. and Ballingarry (Thurles) Community Development CLG. The project aims to mobilise community-led energy efficiency in communities around Littleton, affected by Peat Plant Closures.
The project is being divided into two phases:
Phase 1 will involve informing the public and creating awareness around the project, carrying out technical assessments on houses in the area and enlisting households wishing to partake in the home energy upgrade scheme.
A number of information events will be held along with pop in clinics in Littleton and Ballingarry. Keep an eye on social media, local newspapers and websites of the above mentioned organisations etc. for details.
Phase 2 will involve the retrofitting of participating households following the successful completion of Phase 1 along with an Energy Saving Behaviour Change Programme and Community Solar PV Projects.
