Green surge

Momentum is building across Ireland’s energy landscape. Hydrogen is finding its foothold with Powerhouse Energy’s breakthrough supply deal. Biomethane edges closer to mainstream after CycleØ and Gas Networks Ireland’s partnership. A €14bn grid upgrade is taking shape to future-proof power demands, while businesses align in record renewable agreements that speak to ambition beyond compliance. 

At the same time, regulators are advocating stronger safeguards for small enterprises navigating rising costs. Amid concerns that emissions targets remain out of reach, one thing is clear: the sector is refusing to stand still. 

Each decision this week shows a country betting on innovation to close gaps, unlock growth and keep sustainability at the heart of its economy.
