COMPARES

The main activities of the COMPARES project involve:

The creation of a database for Inishowen on energy efficiency and renewable energy – including the conduct of our survey and the development of project
website facilities (website under construction).

The rolling out of a six-week information campaign from Feb 21st to March
30th), including a series of programmes on ICRfm and accompanying series of articles in The Inish times, and culminating in the hosting of an Energy Fair –
which will combine demonstrations and workshops.

The establishment of a local panel of tourism and energy experts, and representatives of the farming community, to ensure all relevant interests are represented on the project. Tourism and leisure industry, academic and council energy experts and the IFA are all part of this panel, which acts in a consultative capacity.

The creation of a network of expertise, through contacts with the Department
of Marine, Communications and Natural Resources; Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI), and parallel energy projects.
