About the study

The Ennis District Heating Concept Study, led by Tipperary Energy Agency in association with Codema, is a project funded by the EUCF aimed at developing a concept for a district heating network for Ennis and its surrounding areas on behalf of Clare County Council.

The study assessed the technical and financial feasibility for a district heating system in Ennis, identifying suitable renewable and waste heat sources for the potential network. The concept developed serves as a key step for delivering low-cost and reliable heat for Ennis and contributing to Ireland’s carbon reduction goals.

Codema’s role in the project

Codema served as the subject matter experts to assist Tipperary Energy Agency in delivering the concept study, including:

Heat demand and supply assessments: Analysing the area’s current and projected heat demand and evaluating the suitability of local heat sources, such as waste heat from industrial processes and renewable sources.
Concept network for heat delivery: Developing a district heating concept based on the heat demand and availability of local heat sources.
Feasibility assessment: Assessing the feasibility of developing a district heating network based on the developed concept.
