11.08.2013
The South-East Regional Authority’s pilot action as part of the Climatlantic Project, “Assessment and Demonstration of Measures to Reduce Electricity Consumption by Local Authorities”, has been shortlisted for a national award in the Joint Local Authority Initiative category in the Excellence in Local Government Awards organised by Chambers Ireland’s.

The aim of this initiative, a collaborative venture between the South-East Regional Authority, Carlow County Council and Carlow Kilkenny Energy Agency, was to identify and demonstrate best in class energy efficiency measures, in each of the Council’s main internal electricity-consuming activities – water supply, wastewater and buildings.
The initiative was carried out as part of the Authority’s participation in “Climatlantic” an inter-regional project part-financed by the European Union’s European Regional Development Fund through the INTERREG IVB Atlantic Area Programme.
This initiative is an excellent example of intra-regional cooperation between public agencies. The initiatives undertaken in “Climatlantic” have a high level of transferability to other local authorities across Ireland and the EU and would lead to significant energy savings across the EU public sector.
The Excellence in Local Government Awards showcase best practice in local government and highlight some of the great projects that local/regional authorities are undertaking. The Awards are judged by a panel of expert judges working in the field of local government and have been taking place since 2004.
The Awards ceremony takes place next Wednesday and “Climatlantic” wishes our partner the best result.
