Be Part Of The Change

Carbon Footprint

66% of people don't feel informed on their CO2 emissions

Energy Usage

Devices on standby make up about 7% of your homes energy usage

Light & Solar

Lighting makes up around 11% of your electricity bill

Home Heating

Heating makes up 61% of your home's energy usage

What you can do

Start with appliance energy ratings - an A rated appliance will use about 55% less energy than the equivalent D rated appliance. Knowing how your devices use energy will help you to cut your emissions.

How we can help

We're committed to creating more than 300 pieces of educational content this year to help our 1.1 million customers better understand their energy use, to help reduce their impact on the environment and their costs.

What you can do

A TV left on standby will generate around 12 kg of CO2 each year, the equivalent of driving a petrol car 95 km. Simply unplugging devices on standby will reduce your energy consumption.

How we can help

We offer a range of smart products designed to make your life more convenient and manage your energy usage. Including Google Nest Home Mini, which allows you to control devices with just your voice.

What you can do

LED light bulbs use about 85% less energy than traditional light bulbs. If 1.1 million people changed just one bulb, the annual CO2 emissions saved would be equivalent to taking 14,000 petrol cars off the road.

How we can help

Light can also help you to reduce your bills and your carbon footprint, by generating your own electricity through Solar PV panels. Our customers can spread the cost of these panels over 3 years, interest free.

What you can do

Turning down your thermostat by just 1 degree from 19°C to 18°C could cut your energy usage by 10%. If our 1.1 million customers did that, the reduction in Ireland's CO2 emissions would be equivalent to planting 138,000 acres of forest, about 5 times the size of Dublin City.

How we can help

Electric heat pumps cut home heating emissions by 60%, so we've created a special price plan that offers an extra 5.5% discount for heat pump owners. This makes them even more cost-effective for our customers.

Smart Technology

Learning Thermostats can cut your energy usage by 11.5%

Water Heating

Your home uses 19% of its energy to heat water

Home Improvement

Heating makes up 32% of Ireland's CO2 emissions

Electric Vehicle

Switching to an EV will halve your CO2 emissions

What you can do

Smart thermostats learn your heating habits and automatically adjust your heating so it's only on when you need it. They also provide data on your energy usage and help you to be more energy efficient.

How we can help

To give our customers the ability to efficiently manage their heating, we offer Nest Smart Thermostats with a 48% discount plus free installation and a free Google Home Mini.

What you can do

Heating your water using your immersion rather than your boiler will heat the water faster and to a higher maximum temperature, meaning you use less energy less often. Especially if you have a well-insulated tank.

How we can help

Our customers can avail of a cheaper nightsaver rate for electricity used overnight, when demand is at its lowest and the most renewable energy is being generated.

What you can do

You lose around 35% of the heat in your home through poorly insulated walls and 40% through doors, windows and the floor. Upgrading your home insulation, windows and doors will cut your emissions and save you money.

How we can help

We know the cost of home improvements can be daunting, that's why our Energy Efficiency Scheme has provided our customers a total of €3.9 million in home improvement support to date.

What you can do

If 1.1 million people switched from petrol to electric cars, reduction in CO2 emissions per year would be equivalent to planting 567,000 acres of forest. That's about the same size as County Meath.

How we can help

We believe electric vehicles that emit zero carbon are the future of transport. To help our customers become part of that future, we offer home chargers from just €149* with free professional installation.
* After SEAI Grant.
