From Crisis to Security - Ireland's Path to Fair Bills and Clean Energy

Our new report From Crisis to Security: Ireland’s Path to Fair Bills and Clean Energy details over 50 recommendations for the Government to tackle energy poverty, improve energy security and accelerate the transition to clean, homegrown energy.

The recommendations include shifting taxes and levies from electricity to fossil fuels to make fossil-free homes more affordable for everyone. We're also calling for the introduction of a “windfall levy” on excess profits made by energy companies during price shocks, and for the removal of VAT on energy efficient upgrades. The rollout of Balcony solar, particularly for renters, should also be introduced.

We need to prioritise cheaper, secure electricity for households and businesses. The need for real energy independence, powered by renewables, which will bring down our energy bills and protect us from global price shocks, has never been so urgent. And the vast majority of the Irish public agree with this approach - an Ireland Thinks poll we commissioned has found that 82% of the Irish public want the country to move away from fossil fuels.
