Department of Finance officials recommend homeowners, who from this September will be able to sell excess electricity back to the national grid - should be given a €200 tax break or "disregard" each year: hubs.ly/Q015m-ym0

The decarbonisation of Irish society relies on fundamental changes to how energy is generated and consumed. The National Network, Local Connections Programme has been established to work with, and for, customers to make this possible. hubs.ly/H0-7Cy60
Have you read our blog post on the recent updates related to the SEAI Grant? Find out how the new Clean Export Guarantee (CEG) Scheme is set to replace the SEAI Grant in our blog post below. hubs.ly/H0Z2TZT0

Rooftop solar energy ‘can provide a major portion of global electricity needs’ Find out more in the @IrishTimes from @KOSullivanIT bit.ly/3iCL1LA The paper plus more on our website bit.ly/3oE2PKg
We have just published the first study to assess global electricity generation potential from rooftop solar PV technology Rooftop solar PV not only helps to reduce emissions but also to involve homeowners directly in the energy transition Find out more bit.ly/3oE2PKg

Great interview from Morning Ireland on Tuesday: Mary Robinson, former president and founder of the Mary Robinson Foundation-Climate Justice discusses the urgent need for action to offset the worst effects of climate change. hubs.ly/H0V7-9f0
Happy Summer Solstice! Enjoy the longest day of the year...
The UK has reported that Residential solar boosts house prices by £30,000. Such value is created in the ability to save on energy bills – particularly as these have increased by 37% on average during lockdown. Read the report here - solarpowerportal.co.uk/news/…

Analysis: Coronavirus set to cause largest ever annual fall in CO2 emissions | @DrSimEvans bit.ly/3eU0aEW
Great ambition! Looks like we need to up our 250k domestic solar systems target #bringiton #goinggreen #ClimateEmergency
My high-level road map for 7% CO2 saving/year to 2030. Data is approximates, but give a sense of impact for certain measures. I think each of these could be achieved in 10 years if Climate Action is treated with urgency. @EamonRyan @greenparty_ie @fiannafailparty @FineGael

We have an article in tomorrow's Irish Times with insights from energy systems modelling on what the 7% annual emissions reductions target means for energy, with @james_glynn and @BOGallachoir . I'll also be on Morning Ireland & Irish Times "Inside Poliitcs" podcast to discuss.
FF/FG response to GP 7% target "We believe that within the first 100 days we should .. enact a new Climate Bill that will enhance and strengthen the Climate Change Advisory Council, put a net zero target for 2050 into law and provide for five-year carbon budgets." 👌
