Core offering

Codema is Dublin's Energy Agency, providing advisory, planning, research, and project delivery services to Dublin's four local authorities on energy efficiency, decarbonization, and renewable energy initiatives. Its core offerings include energy master-planning (notably the Dublin Region Energy Master Plan), district heating development, energy performance contracting, decarbonising zones, and public engagement programs. Services are funded through EU grants, SEAI national funding, and project-based contracts with local authorities.

Product overview

Codema is Dublin's Energy Agency providing advisory and consultancy services rather than a software product. Their offering is a portfolio of professional services and initiatives including energy planning, policy research, project management, public sector support, and citizen engagement. The services are delivered through various programs and projects such as the Dublin Region Energy Master Plan (evidence-based planning tool), DeliveREE (EU-funded decarbonisation projects), Energy Performance Contracting programs, District Heating initiatives, and community-focused offerings like the Home Energy Saving Kit and Raytown Energy Dock. Codema works on behalf of Dublin's four local authorities to drive the region's low-carbon transition.

Broad incumbents

• EcoAct: International climate consultancy offering strategy, carbon accounting, and transition planning. Overlaps with Codema's decarbonisation strategy and MACC-style advisory work, but serves private-sector clients globally.
• Arup: Global engineering and advisory firm with deep energy transition, buildings, and district energy practices. Arup regularly competes for city-level energy master planning and public-sector decarbonisation programmes similar to those Codema delivers.
• WSP: Global engineering consultancy with a large energy and climate advisory practice. WSP competes for municipal district-heating, decarbonisation, and energy-master-planning mandates that overlap with Codema's services.
• South Pole: Global climate consulting and decarbonisation advisory firm. While much larger and commercially driven, South Pole competes for the same climate-strategy and decarbonisation advisory mandates Codema pursues with public-sector clients.

Direct peers

• Carbon Trust: UK-based advisory organisation helping governments and businesses decarbonise. Carbon Trust's municipal advisory, energy performance contracting, and policy work closely mirror Codema's portfolio of services for Dublin's local authorities.
• Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI): Ireland's national energy authority, which funds and partners with Codema. Both organisations deliver public-sector advisory, policy, and grant-funded programmes on energy efficiency and decarbonisation, with SEAI operating one tier above Codema's city-level remit.
• Bristol City Leap: City-led energy partnership delivering district heating, building retrofits, and renewable generation in Bristol. Mirrors Codema's district-heating-first delivery model combined with public-sector governance.
• Energy Cities: European network of city-level energy agencies and local governments driving municipal energy transition. Codema functions as Dublin's analogue to the city-energy-agency model that Energy Cities aggregates across Europe.
• Amsterdam Smart City: City-level public-private partnership coordinating Amsterdam's energy and sustainability transition. Operates in a comparable role to Codema in convening projects, citizen engagement, and demonstration programmes at city scale.
• Greater London Authority (Energy & Climate Team): London's city-level government body coordinating energy and climate policy across boroughs. Functions as the closest analogue to Codema at a larger city scale, including building decarbonisation, district heating, and public engagement.
