SIX so-called ‘energy-positive’ projects are to kick off in Limerick this summer following an open call for novel ideas in the Georgian neighbourhood.
The Positive City Exchange project is working to develop areas of “positive energy” in the centre.
This means schemes which can produce more energy than they actually consume.
Limerick City and County Council is a lead partner on the programme alongside Trondheim in Norway and is funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme.
One of the funded projects, ‘Greening the Smart Grid’, a collaboration between the Urban Coop, Community Power and Clean Tech Energy will be using a solar powered microgrid to extend the growing season on local allotments.

In 1997, the number of UCBs was above 2000 when I had travelled the whole of India as a member of the Madhavrao Committee of RBI. Later, this number got reduced due to mergers & delicensing of nearly 500 UCBs by RBI and today they are just 1500 plus.
Now after amendments in the Banking Regulation Act in June 1920 by the Central Cabinet, I am afraid during the next one or two years, UCBs will further reduce to a three digit number i.e. less than 1000.
I expect from the central budget that a level playing field must be given to the UCB sector as is being given to all commercial banks. RBI should also take immediate steps to implement favourable provisions under the revised B.R. Act. The UCB sector is emotionally closer to the “Common Man”.
