Previous PostPrevious Launch of Energy Master Plan: Kinvara and district Sustainable Energy Community have been working on a master plan for our area. During the last 10 months we have held a public meeting to inform the community about the importance of reducing our home energy and of grants available to assist in this. We also held a Drop in energy advice clinic and a one to one discussion with our Energy Consultant Laurence O Reilly. Our funding for the above was granted by SEAI and we would like to thank Galway County Council for assisting with cash flowing the grant. The Climate Action Office in Galway Co Co also grant aided towards the project.

  • Kinvara & District Sustainable Energy Community (SEC) are starting a Solar PV “Meitheal”. Join us on Monday 11th of November at 7pm in the Community Centre, Kinvara. Kinvara & District is a Sustainable Energy Community (SEC) with SEAI. Working together as a group, which is the meaning of ‘meitheal’, ensures that we can negotiate as a group with solar PV suppliers/installers, bring prices down and make the whole process easier. We will introduce the Solar Meitheal concept. Dr Orla Nic Suibhne, SEC mentor on behalf of SEAI will go through the benefits of solar PV for homeowners, and outline the potential value of solar PV for your house. Please come along if you want to find out how to produce your own electricity and become part of the Kinvara Solar PV meitheal.
