Community energy analysis for Sustainable Energy Communities (SECs) in Ireland

Energy plans for your community, in weeks not months.

The SEC Management Platform replaces three Excel templates from SEAI, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, with one web app. We set up your county and communities, and you get a 2030 plan you can present to SEAI, funders and homeowners.

How it works

From Small Areas to an Energy Master Plan

Three steps. The platform does the data work, so the committee’s time goes on engagement and the plan itself.

We set up your communities

Your county, towns and SEC boundaries are set up during onboarding from Census 2022 Small Areas (census areas of generally 80 to 120 homes), about 18,900 areas covering every household in the Republic.

Build the baseline

The platform brings together SEAI's BER profile (February 2025 edition), Census 2022, Pobal deprivation, Tailte business and PVGIS solar data into a residential, business, community and transport baseline.

Plan to 2030

Retrofit paths, SEAI grant cover, solar potential and the EV transition, measured against the SEC targets, with a plan document your committee can publish and share.

Who it is for

Whatever your role on the path to 2030

The same data, calculations and plan, whichever way you come to it.

Build the plan without the spreadsheets

SEC committees and coordinators

  • The baseline, retrofit and solar plan in one place, not weeks of copying between spreadsheets.
  • A plan document to share with the community, SEAI and funders.
  • Change fuel prices, retrofit pace or grant levels and every figure follows.
  • Plain-English explanations for community meetings.
BER data at community scale

Energy mentors and assessors

  • Every home’s BER profile for an area: ratings, fuels, wall types, construction periods.
  • The worst-rated homes and the grant-eligible upgrade paths for them.
  • Comparisons with national and county figures and Pobal deprivation.
  • A portfolio of every community you support, with its progress.
Target retrofit where it matters most

Local authorities and county organisations

  • BER data alongside the Pobal deprivation index, down to Electoral Division.
  • Areas ranked by retrofit readiness, tenure mix and grant uptake.
  • Grid capacity and ESB substation headroom beside each selection.
  • County drawdown of SEAI grants against eligibility.
The national picture

Every county, every Small Area, mapped

Building Energy Ratings for every county: how many homes have a BER, from SEAI’s per-Small-Area profile (February 2025 edition), and their average rating.

Official sources, dated

Every figure traces back to a public dataset

BER, CSO, Pobal, Tailte, SEAI and PVGIS, and each figure says which edition it comes from.

BER

SEAI BER Ratings by Small Area

1.2 million homes with a Building Energy Rating, published by SEAI per Small Area (February 2025 edition). Homes without a BER are not in it.

Census

CSO Census 2022

Small Area Population Statistics: every household and demographic theme.

Pobal

Pobal HP Deprivation Index

Area-level disadvantage scores by Electoral Division (2022).

Tailte

Tailte Éireann

Valuation Office commercial property records for the business baseline.

PVGIS

EU JRC PVGIS v5.3

Satellite-based solar irradiance and yield for any point in Ireland.

SEAI

SEAI statistics

County installation rates 2015–2025 for heat pumps, solar PV and insulation.

Request demo access

The platform is rolled out through managed onboarding. Tell us about your organisation, whether a county co-ordinator, an SEC or an SEAI mentor, and we’ll set up a guided demonstration with your area’s data.
