More money needed for retrofits & energy saving projects – Cuffe

A new EU fund should be set up to help pay for increased renovations and other energy saving projects over the coming years.

That’s the recommendation from Green MEP Ciarán Cuffe. His comments follow EU plans to impose tougher sanctions against Russia including banning all imports of oil from there by the end of the year.

Ciarán Cuffe says retrofitting houses and other energy saving initiatives could significantly reduce our dependence on Russia for energy supplies. But he believes people will need financial help to carry out expensive energy efficiency projects.  

Out words: for that
