Energy performance has improved by 27% according to a report by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).

The report, based on Ireland's largest energy users on the Large Industry Energy Network (LIEN), shows that the 166 member companies who have a combined annual energy spend of €1.1bn, account for over 17% of Ireland's total primary energy requirement. These companies made energy savings of €32m last year.

The LIEN was established by SEAI in 1995 as a voluntary network of Ireland's largest industrial and commercial companies who share the common goal of reducing energy use and saving on their energy bills. The members, who report annually on their energy performance, share best practice and pilot new approaches to energy saving to ensure continuous improvements.
