All of these projects play an important role in the company’s energy-saving obligations under the national Better Energy programme. Bord na Móna is currently securing the services of a partner to roll out a domestic retrofit staff promotion. The domestic energy measures being offered by this ‘one-stopshop’ company are; attic insulation, pumped cavity wall insulation, new boilers and stoves, heating controls and solar panels, as well as servicing of boilers and stoves. And it’s easy - the partner will provide skilled personnel who will audit an employee’s home to assess its energy efficiency. They will present the householder with a range of energy-saving options and the costs of implementing them. If the householder agrees the work and costs with the contractor, the partner will apply for the grant on behalf of the employee, so that the householder pays only for the cost of the work minus the grant amount. In addition, Bord na Móna is launching an Easy Pay staff credit scheme where up to a maximum of €1,700 can be secured against the home energy savings measures. It’s like a 0% interest-free loan from the company, which the employee can repay from their wages over a nine-month period. The energy saving credits, once verified, contribute to Bord na Móna’s Better Energy targets. The advantage of this scheme for employees is that it is convenient, offering a hassle-free one-stop-shop solution to having different energy-saving work completed by one contractor who is registered with SEAI and has been vetted by Bord na Móna. Employees will be able to avail of the offer from this summer until the end of 2012.
