Plans ‘can cut €1,100 off home energy bill’

CONSUMERS could save up to €1,100 on their annual costs to heat and light their home under energy efficient plans unveiled yesterday — and potentially create 32,000 jobs.

The bill saving proposals were launched by Energy Minister Eamon Ryan who said they would also provide a huge number of jobs.

The proposal by the Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA), which is based in Dublin, sets out ways for households to cut their energy costs.
