.@mayocountycouncil.bsky.social has teamed up with EnergyCloud to launch a pilot project aimed at tackling energy poverty by using surplus renewable electricity to provide free hot water to local authority tenants. #IrishEnergyTransition #IrelandsEnergyTransition www.mayonews.ie/news/pilot-p...

Today 2000 artists were to be awarded the Basic Income for Artists. But it turns out that only 750 will receive it. @rodericogorman.bsky.social asked when the other 1250 artists will get clarity on the situation in the Dáil. Find out more at greenparty.ie/news @donnacooney1.bsky.social

EV line Go Up (in Ireland)! #IrelandsEnergyTransition #IrishEnergyTransition

The technology already exists to escape the price shocks of the end of the fossil fuel era #IrishEnergyTransition #IrelandsEnergyTransition

Nice to see over half of yesterdays electricity demand met by renewable generation and batteries- fossil fuel reduced to just 35%_ #IrishEnergyTransition #IrelandsEnergyTransition

Well done Galway & Co Louth and all the counties that host solar Farms )and all sustainable energy) for helping Ireland get off expensive imported fuel #IrishEnergyTransition #IrelandsEnergyTransition

It's time to iron out details for how to allow EV charging across footpaths, councillors agree. Like, what'll be the route to dig up the footpath and lay down a wire?

We've just launched our pre-budget ideas. The basic idea that Ireland's high costs need investment to deal with - not just money to cope. Our core proposal is a big once-off package to support households financially and to move faster off expensive fossil fuels.

Brexit has done more harm than good to the UK. With some positive words from Andy Burnham on Europe, everything is possible, and we’d love to have you back. europeangreens.eu/news/europea...

Some interesting developments in Ireland -that’s a lot of batteries/storage #IrishEnergyTransition #IrelandsEnergyTransition

@transportevolved.bsky.social Congratulations on episode 600 of Transport Evolved News!!! Watching TEN makes my weekend!

Ireland has ambitious targets under the EU Nature Restoration Regulation to re-establish native woodlands. To support this national effort we've mapped key native woodlands with potential for ambitious restoration using public lands Read more: www.environmentalpillar.ie/app/uploads/...

🌿 Great afternoon at Reilly’s Community Garden at the 8th Lock for the opening of their new biodiversity pond. Delighted to have helped secure the land for community use some years ago, but huge credit to the volunteers who have made it such a brilliant local space. 💚

@transportevolved.bsky.social you maybe interested to know that Ireland has reached a major milestone EV adoption- (despite the Headline) RTÉ News -Decades' before EVs dominate Irish roads www.rte.ie/news/busines...

If your organisation is planning #sustainability initiatives, #energy awareness programmes or employee engagement activities for the months ahead, we'd love to chat about how we can help.

Renewable generation and discharging storage equalled 32% of yesterday's electricity demand, with a peak of 36% at 04:45. Fossil fuel generation (mostly gas) equalled 38% of demand. 0% of generation was exported, 30% of demand was met by imports.

Ending energy curtailment in Ireland could reduce energy poverty Electricity waste hits €1.6m daily while ‘550,000 suffer energy poverty’ #IrishEnergyTransition www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

This makes for a depressing read. And the worst bit? This being exposed won't change decision makers behaviour in any way. This is what political capture looks like. Our nature, health and wellbeing are the price for the industrial farm lobby's profits. www.grilled.media/inside-copa-...

Lots done (well done property emissions- you’re working hard to reduce emissions) more to do- (come on agriculture and transports) www.thejournal.ie/greenhouse-g... #IrishEnergyTransition

We can’t keep subsidizing an industry that sends money abroad when the technology exists in Ireland to free ourselves from fossil Fuels- Source: The Irish Times share.google/ifM3EBmqEeny... #IrishEnergyTransition

Renewable generation and discharging storage equalled 38% of yesterday's electricity demand, with a peak of 51% at 17:15. Fossil fuel generation (mostly gas) equalled 43% of demand. 0% of generation was exported, 19% of demand was met by imports.

I've never known anybody that has ever been involved. It's not spoken about, its not even something that used happen here. SF are supporting bloodsports for about 10 cranky men across the country that don't vote for them anyways

Even just pick 1 of these- Source: The Irish Times share.google/UALkPQ5AOmuj... #IrelandsEnergyTransition #IrishEnergyTransition

Trust us, the current European heatwave is no joke 🥵 However, clear skies and long days are good for capturing power from the sun: as of 4pm this afternoon, solar farms had been meeting >30% of the ROI's electricity needs for several hours ☀️ This kind of share for solar is all new this summer 📊

The best friend of Dmytro Stechenko, who was killed in a head-on collision with an illegal scooter-rider on the Queensboro Bridge, is calling on the city to do more.

Interesting initiative from Co Clare involving biodiversity in church grounds www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Water quality and Irish aquaculture: Astonishing to learn — not only that companies continue operating for years with an out-of-date licence — but effectively there's also no oversight of environmental impacts of these commercial operations.

Taking advantage of the long evenings to get out and chat to residents about issues with waste collection, road safety and dereliction

New hotels in Dublin will now face a much higher development charge than housing. That's thanks to a Green proposal we brought through Dublin City Council. The Irish Hotels Federation aren't happy, but I think we need to really focus in on the development our city prioritises.

How do we tackle congestion in Dublin? I basically said "better public transport" fifty times over when discussing this question on @newstalkfm.bsky.social's Hard Shoulder earlier today. www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

Renewable generation and discharging storage equalled 47% of yesterday's electricity demand, with a peak of 64% at 01:45. Fossil fuel generation (mostly gas) equalled 28% of demand. 0% of generation was exported, 23% of demand was met by imports.

Glad to see that an investment in sustainable industry can be an investment in Irish industry and innovation #IrelandsEnergyTransition share.google/elrrWZLl5KCq...
