Background
Transport accounts for almost 50% of the annual energy spend for Portmarnock.
This ties in with energy spend generally in Ireland as transport is by far the largest source of final energy demand (42% of final energy demand in 2018) with private cars accounting for 40% of the transport energy demand.
Given the residential nature of Portmarnock, our transport usage is mainly in private cars and would be a much higher percentage of the transport figure. The annual energy spend in the Energy Master Plan was calculated based on private cars only.
