Shannon Town Sustainable Energy Community (SEC)

  A simple way to increase your comfort level on cold nights is to use heavy curtains :) I have found a 5 C difference either side of curtains! A clothes peg can help close tricky curtains and a board behind a radiator can keep the heat the right side of them :) And remember good quality curtains at bargain prices can be got in most charity shops! Like Second Chance Animal Rescue - SCAR in the Shannon Town Centre :) @SEAI @ SEAI Sustainable Energy Communities @ Shannon Community Partnership

     Wow! I didn't know so much energy use data was public! https://psmr.seai.ie/Reports/PublicAnnualReportForPublic... Say for St. Patrick's Comprehensive School in 2021 was 270MWh or roughly 1000 units per day (remember school closed quite a bit). Interesting data, most residential homes would use 10 units a day (4MWh per annum) and Shannon Airport (40,000 units per day / 13,000MWh per annum) https://www.seai.ie/.../seai.../key-statistics/residential/

T he next step for us will be to work towards a masterplan of how to engage with the people of Shannon Town to be more energy efficient. Our neighbours in Cratloe just published their 43 page plan at: https://sustainablecratloe.ie/ What I think would be brilliant is if ESB Networks would provide SECs occasional actual supply/generation data from their network. They already share capacity data: https://www.esbnetworks.ie/.../availability-capacity-map
