Over the last three years, a total budget of over €2.6m has been awarded by SE Systems to local community projects to date.
The SE Systems Community Fund is an independent fund that helps non-profits, charities and voluntary organisations benefit from projects that improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, from solar panel systems and heat pump installation to insulation upgrades.
John O’Leary, co-founder and CEO of SE Systems said: “One of the values that drives us as a business is to build greener, more resilient places to live and work.
“Our Community Fund is an enabler of this value, allowing us to build long-term, viable solutions for vital local amenities and organisations that are fundamental to the social fabric of our towns and villages across Ireland.
“The SE Systems Community Fund is made possible through a unique funding mechanism developed in partnership with our commercial clients as part of their participation in our SEAI Community Energy Grant scheme applications.
“This collaborative approach allows us to redirect private sector investment into community-based energy projects, supporting grassroots organisations across Ireland in achieving their sustainable energy ambitions.”
Headquartered in Cork, SE Systems serves clients across the country.
