Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Energy Poverty: Discussion

Ms Clare O'Connor:

Yes, it was on heat pump installation. We are advocating for introducing obligations on installing renewable heat solutions from 2027 at the latest, ideally earlier. It is important that those signals are sent out now to the market, and to people who are training and reskilling and installers, and that industry is aware that this is coming down the line. It is very important that there are people here in the Oireachtas championing the need for legislation and regulation in that area.
