Episode about Dublin's big transition with Donna Gartland from CODEMA

City Stories by Energy Cities

Dublin counts half a million residents. Its energy agency CODEMA is in the early stages of redesigning the city’s energy landscape by involving the local community. The challenge is huge: How do you decarbonise a capital city that is very much driven by the fast-growing digital economy? Today I talk with Donna Gartland who is heading the Dublin energy agency with a staff of 16 people. She will explain what changes can be expected in the city and describes how she and her team trigger conversations with citizens around very abstract topics such as district heating using waste heat from data centres.
