Keep Kilkenny Beautiful (KKB) have announced grant approval of €25,000 for the development of an Energy Masterplan for Kilkenny City.
In 2022 KKB established a Sustainable Energy Community sub committee to lead on projects in the area of energy use reduction and being more sustainable as a community.
The SuperValu Tidy Towns competition award points every year for projects developed in this area and it’s an important part of winning overall prizes. The KKB SEC have run three events since then to raise awareness of energy saving options and tips and engaged in the Climate Action Hero’s campaign for the last two years.

An information session will take place on Tuesday, November 19 in the Mayfair Library from 6.45pm to 7.45pm.
Chair of KKB, Cllr Maria Dollard, who is also an EU Climate Ambassador, commented: "We worked closely with Kilkenny County Council Climate Action Team to develop a strategic application that would dovetail with the councils own work on reducing emissions in the decarbonisation zone of Kilkenny City.
"Our plan is to develop a plan that provides the data by which we can measure our current emissions and offer pathways to residents, communities and business to reduce their emissions," she added.
"It's an exciting project for Kilkenny city and one that we hope will pave the way for upgrading our built infrastructure in Kilkenny over the coming years," she concluded.
