Kilcullen energy survey under way

A survey of local homes and businesses is being undertaken by the Kilcullen Sustainable Energy Community group as part of the development of an Energy Plan for the town, writes Brian Byrne. The survey is being distributed online and can be accessed here.

An action plan which will emerge from the group will be designed to help homes, farms, community and business properties increase their energy efficiency and independence, as well as reduce the community's overall carbon emissions.

Local energy generation opportunities will also be explored, and there will be options for some property owners to apply for SEAI grant funding towards the cost of improving energy efficiency.

There are 23 questions on the survey, which are filled by simply checking preferred answers. They are designed to establish insulation, heating sources, controls, and lighting status across the community.

There's also a section offering options for a community-based energy project.

All answers will be treated in full confidence, and no personal identifiers will be included in the final report.
