Public sector energy efficiency performance report

Get a better understanding of the energy efficiency performance of public bodies in Ireland.

Public sector energy efficiency performance report 2024

Public bodies are required to report annual energy data to us every year. We manage the reporting process on behalf of the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment (DCEE). This is the eleventh year we have published an annual report on the energy performance of public bodies in Ireland. The 2024 report covers data for 2023 and is set in the context of Ireland's EU and national commitments and wider climate change goals, whereby a 51% reduction in energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a 50% improvement in energy efficiency is to be achieved by all Irish Public Bodies by 2030.
