This Friday January 23, Minister for Education and Skills Jan O’Sullivan will join the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board (LCETB) to launch a new energy initiative, ‘Let’s Conserve Energy Together Better’ at an event held at the Limerick College of Further Education.
The new programme will see the LCETB become the first educational training board in the country to undertake such an energy initiative with 49 facilities participating in the initiative across Limerick and Clare.
It will be implemented across all LCETB schools, further education centres and administrative offices throughout counties Limerick and Clare with the primary objective of reducing overall electricity and thermal energy usage by over 50 per cent per annum.
Funding for this initiative is being facilitated through the European Commission Technical Assistance Facility provided by the European Energy Efficiency Fund (EEEF) Programme.
Also in attendance at the launch will be George O’Callaghan, chief executive of LCETB and Zarpana Massud-Baqa, assistant vice president, Asset Management–Environmental and Social Capital, Deutsche Bank AG (Acting Fund Managers of the EEEF).
