SEAI’s Partnership Support Manager
ORS operates as Partnership Support Managers (PSMs) for SEAI for major public bodies. The role of the PSM is to enable public bodies to improve their energy performance, identify and implement energy saving projects by establishing relationships and mentoring their assigned partners. The PSM also acts as the primary link between the public body and the SEAI. ORS has provided advice to over 40 government departments, state and semi-state bodies including the IDA, TII, IAA, Local Authorities and over 20 National Hospitals.
LIEN (Large Industry Energy Network)
The LIEN, supported by SEAI, is aimed at improving the energy performance of Ireland’s largest industrial energy users. LIEN members are companies with annual energy bills of €1 million or over. The LIEN currently has 200-member companies who employ 135,000 people in Ireland and spend €1.1bn on energy annually. ORS provides technical and strategic support to many of these large industries across Ireland by assessing their energy use and improving their energy performance.
