Cork City Council has secured €2m from the European Investment Bank to accelerate retrofitting of public buildings and social homes. This will lower bills, create warmer homes, and reduce emissions.
At a time when so much feels stalled, climate action delivers.

“The Grangegorman site being developed by Technological University Dublin is an example of deep geothermal with the ability to heat a campus while weaning off gas. It has achieved 38 degrees at 1km so signs are good for a second 2km borehole.”

There is an abundance of wind on the Irish electricity system this morning and the network operator is imploring me to use energy. Wouldn't it be nice if it was cheaper?
My column today is an "explainer" on dynamic tariffs, which are coming this summer.

Informative webinar from Green-Schools Ireland on home energy kits.
Although for schools, it's a great resource for anyone to find out about Home Energy Saving Kits and how they work. The kits are available to borrow from public libraries nationwide.

A beautiful milestone was reached in the EU last year: more electricity was generated by wind and solar than by fossil fuels for the first time. Ireland isn't quite there yet, but we're making good progress so hopefully by 2027 🤞🇮🇪

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has regular reports (monthly, quarterly) which provide short-term projections of coal, oil, & gas.
As of January 2026, it looks like fossil CO2 emissions in 2026 will be relatively flat: the drop in coal (-1%) offset by growth in gas (2%) & oil (0.8%).

Trump has growing stranglehold over EU and UK energy supply, study shows
European countries now reliant on US liquified natural gas shipments, creating risk of higher bills amid recent tensions
Donald Trump has a stranglehold over EU and UK energy supply as a result of Europe swapping its dependency on Russia for reliance on the US, analysis has shown.
In part due to the war in Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions on Russian pipeline gas, European countries have become dependent on shipments of US liquified natural gas (LNG), according to a paper co-authored by the Clingendael Institute, in The Hague, the Ecologic Institute, in Berlin, and the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs.
