Electric Ireland sponsors
Influential Energy Efficiency event
Electric Ireland welcomed representatives from more than 100 of Ireland’s
largest energy users to Powerscourt House
in Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow, for a briefing
on the latest financial and technological
developments in energy efficiency. Hosted
by Crowley Carbon, an Irish-based energy
services company, and sponsored by Electric Ireland, the event delivered an up-todate overview of the latest developments
in the sector, including the latest energy
efficiency services on offer for commercial
and industrial customers from Electric Ireland’s Energy Services team.
The conference highlighted the rationale
for carrying out energy efficiency projects
in commercial and industrial businesses.
This sector has delivered significant energy
savings through initiatives such as SEAI’s
Better Energy Workplace scheme, which
Irish businesses have used to achieve more
than 250GWh of additional energy savings each year for the past two years.
Minister for Communications, Energy
& Natural Resources, Pat Rabbitte TD,
opened the event and discussed the imperative for energy-efficiency savings in
Ireland. He provided a timely update of
the Government’s new national energy
efficiency action plan, which was launched
the previous day.

Industrial Heritage Association of Ireland
The Industrial Heritage Association of Ireland held its annual awards
evening for 2012 in ESB Head Office on

Welcoming those present, IHAI President Brendan Delany explained the association’s aims which seek to increase
the public’s awareness and understanding of our industrial past. This is done for
the most part through the network of its
members, who offer advice to individuals, groups and organisations about industrial heritage sites and about issues of
conservation and restoration. The IHAI’s
long-term mission said Brendan, is to extend and improve the level of assistance
to its members and the public, helping
them to find effective ways to contribute
