Community Led Just Transition North Tipperary
In 2020 EcoVision (or Energy Communities Tipperary Cooperative as we were called then) was announced as one of the successful applicants in the provisional offers of funding made under the Just Transition Fund. The ‘Community Led Just Transition North Tipperary’ Project is a collaboration between ECTC and Littleton Development Association CLG. and Ballingarry (Thurles) Community Development CLG. The project aims to mobilise community-led energy efficiency in communities around Littleton, affected by Peat Plant Closures. A provisional offer of €995,000 was made to support the project under the Just Transition Fund.
Under the project we have been retrofitting houses, running an energy saving behaviour change programme and installing community owned solar PV on community owned buildings.
