The ‘North West Energy Agency’ (NWEA) was established by Donegal County Council to support homeowners, businesses and communities to implement energy efficiency improvements throughout Donegal. 

The NWEA will help with the following, with the initial focus on domestic properties:

 

  • Retrofit of buildings (domestic and non-domestic);
  • Renewable heating systems (domestic and non-domestic);
  • Solar PV (domestic and non-domestic);

We are currently rolling out energy efficiency works as part of a pilot scheme in select areas which were agreed with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).

 

We are looking for homeowners in the following areas who are interested in getting their home energy efficiency improved as part of the current pilot works:

BundoranLetterkenny; Carrigans; Burtonport; Fintown; Raphoe; Convoy.

 

If you are interested in being part of this pilot scheme and getting independent information on how to make your home more energy efficient, e.g. the type of works that may be required, including funding options (SEAI grants / low interest loans) and how these Energy efficiency improvements could be delivered – then please register your interest on the form as follows:

 

 

The NWEA require 20no properties for the pilot scheme and will work with those homeowners who are interested and ready to progress home improvement works this year.  

 

Closing date for expressions of interest – 30th November 2024 @ 17:00

Success of bespoke organic compost in treatment of Japanese Knotweed

Japanese Knotweed (Reynoutia japonica) is an herbaceous perennial native to East Asia. Commonly found on volcanic slopes, its extensive root system allows it to quickly reemerge following eruptions, producing large amounts of nitrogen-rich leaves and carbon-heavy stems. As these decompose, they contribute to new soil formation. Knotweed can grow in a variety of soil types, habitats, and pH conditions but tends to favour disturbed, low diversity, bacterially dominated soils with little organic matter and high light exposure.
