This Energy Master plan (EMP) will outline a plan how the community of Templemore, Co.Tipperary will achieve its energy reduction goals, to align with SDG 11 ‘Sustainable Communities and Cities’.  Doing the plan helped us understand the energy demand and supply in our community. Our community is encouraged to look at energy efficiency first. This is because energy efficiency work is typically low risk and has high payback. The plan is also a live record of our community’s energy status and achievements. It will evolve to form the foundation for other applications and projects.

Objectives of our EMP:

1. Quantify the current baseline of electrical, thermal and transport energy demand.

2. Identify any existing renewable energy sources within the community.

3. Create a list of potential projects for energy efficiency and renewable energy.

4. Select suitable projects for the first three years of your community. Set energy reduction targets against the baseline figures.

Tabharfaidh an Máistirphlean Fuinnimh (EMP) breac-chuntas ar phlean conas a bhainfidh pobal an Teampaill Mhóir, Co. Chuidigh an plean seo linn tuiscint a fháil ar an éileamh agus ar an soláthar fuinnimh inár bpobal. Spreagtar ár bpobal féachaint ar éifeachtúlacht fuinnimh ar dtús. Tá sé seo amhlaidh toisc go mbíonn riosca íseal ag baint le hobair éifeachtúlachta fuinnimh go hiondúil agus go mbíonn ardíocaíocht aisti. Is taifead beo é an plean freisin ar stádas fuinnimh agus ar ghnóthachtálacha ár bpobal. Forbróidh sé chun bheith ina bhunsraith d’fheidhmchláir agus do thionscadail eile.

Cuspóirí ár EMP:

1. Déan an bonnlíne reatha d'éileamh fuinnimh leictreach, teirmeach agus iompair a chainníochtú.

2. Aon fhoinsí fuinnimh in-athnuaite atá ann cheana féin laistigh den phobal a shainaithint.

3. Cruthaigh liosta de thionscadail ionchasacha maidir le héifeachtúlacht fuinnimh agus fuinneamh in-athnuaite.

4. Roghnaigh tionscadail oiriúnacha do na chéad trí bliana de do phobal. Spriocanna laghdaithe fuinnimh a shocrú i gcoinne na bhfigiúirí bonnlíne.
