The Greencastle Sustainable Energy Community is launching its energy master plan, which is aimed at creating “a more sustainable and energy-efficient future for the community”.

The energy master plan is the result of extensive community engagement and collaboration, incorporating the needs and aspirations of Greencastle residents and businesses. It identifies key opportunities for energy generation, conservation, and efficiency, while also addressing the challenges and barriers to achieving a low-carbon future.

Key elements of the energy master plan include renewable energy generation, community engagement, and infrastructure improvements. By implementing these strategies, the SEC aims to create a thriving community that prioritises environmental sustainability and economic prosperity.

“The energy master plan is a beacon of hope for Greencastle. It represents a collective commitment to building a greener, more resilient community for generations to come. By working together, we can create a sustainable future for everyone,” said Susan McAleer, manager Greencastle Community Centre.

The development of the energy master plan was a collaborative effort involving Greencastle Community Centre, Greencastle SEC, Raleigh & Associates Consultants and SEAI. The SEC is committed to working closely with these partners to ensure the successful implementation of the plan and to maximise its benefits for the community.

The plan will be instrumental in guiding the SEC’s future projects and initiatives, as well as inspiring residents and businesses to embrace sustainable practices.

Greencastle Community Centre will host the launch on Tuesday, August 15 at 5pm.

For more information contact the centre on 0749381054 or email info@greencastlecentre.ie. The plan will be available in digital format after the launch.
