Spa GAA secures €89,132 in funding for climate action initiatives
Spa GAA has been awarded €89,132 in funding by Kerry County Council under the Community Climate Action Programme scheme to enhance energy efficiency at its sporting campus.
The grant will fund a variety of green initiatives, including enhanced solar energy generation, battery storage systems, and the replacement of the main pitch floodlighting with energy-efficient LED lighting. The funding will also support additional renewable energy, biodiversity, and climate action projects across the grounds.
The announcement comes just ahead of the club's busiest weekend of the year, when it hosts the annual Killarney Club 7s tournament.
Earlier this year, the club completed insulation retrofit works on its multi-purpose sports hall and clubhouse. The upgrades were designed to improve thermal comfort for visitors while lowering the club's overall energy consumption and localized greenhouse gas emissions.
"How we build, heat, and run our sports complexes can play a big part in national climate action targets, and good energy management is a big priority for us at Spa GAA," Club Chairman Tadgh Hickey said.
