About this team
Our Project Implementation team facilitates the development of energy efficiency, renewable energy and low-carbon projects for the Dublin Local Authorities (DLAs). This includes district heating projects, upgrading local authority buildings using energy performance contracts, large-scale solar PV projects, and electric vehicle (EV) charging rollouts. The team has also established a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to help take projects from the initial concept stage right through to contract signing and contract management.
The Project Implementation team supports the local authorities in the identification and delivery of a pipeline of projects necessary for them to achieve their 2030 energy and emission reduction targets. The team has produced a ‘Gap-to-Target Analysis’ to assess the current gaps to the national emission targets for each local authority, and within this, outlines the projects required to make sure these targets are met. This has resulted in a project pipeline and associated decarbonisation pathway for each local authority. This pathway shows that fully decarbonising a small number of key buildings is critical to achieving 2030 targets. Looking towards 2050, the remaining buildings will become more important in terms of net-zero emission targets.
