Our new analysis: Europe aims to get off gas - so why are governments taxing it way less than electricity? Tax is a key tool governments can use to boost heat pumps and Europe's sovereignty & energy independence! We discuss this + more at this week's #HPForum. Read: ehpa.org/news-and-res...

Heat pumps can deliver on energy security, net zero industry leadership, cleaner air, decarbonisation, our director @paulkenny.bsky.social tells Heat Pump Forum 2025. How do we get there? - Ensure the business case is right - Improve the customer journey - Tell the right story www.hp-forum.eu

This week I participated in a workshop and was struck by the difference between younger male collegues who were speaking up like they were used to being listened to, and younger female collegues who were timid and not used to being listened to. Damn, are we still here…

UK & EU are under attack by the same foes. We must maximise strength by rejoining urgently.

Move by SEAI will open electric heat pump grant support to more households but @paulkenny.bsky.social of @helloheatpumps.bsky.social says more needs to be done to accelerate the switch from oil and gas home heating www.independent.ie/irish-news/e...

It’s up on 50mm in North Tipperary and falling steadily. Kids have their ready for the morning. #sneachta

Walked a lot around Sligo over the last few days, the air is so much cleaner than a few years ago. One anti-social house burning smoky coal. But otherwise a big improvement.

All markets, all homes and all grids will work this way in the future, many already do. If we do it quickly, we gain competitiveness, security and hit climate targets. If we do it slowly, we lose the first mover advantage, create extra warming and provide more funding to dictators.

And an Irish project flounders as its owners seem great a making debt but not profits. The LNG pause is real. It's economic.

🇧🇪 What does @paulkenny.bsky.social think of the European capital since he moved here? What are his views on Europe’s focus on driving the clean energy transition and the collective effort to build a more sustainable future. 🎥 Watch the video: youtu.be/ifMThP8NaoU

@paulkenny.bsky.social shares how people with heat pumps are absolutely loving the benefits! 🔥 Think you know the all perks of heat pumps? Think again. Find out why so many are loving them. 🎥 Watch the video: youtu.be/ouqwaaDyEI0

Heat pumps are magic and electrified homes are healthy. Let's get fossil fuels out of our homes and away from our loved ones. They must be affordable and accessible for ALL. Kudos to @rewiringamerica.bsky.social for this report.

Just in case you missed it: I am so proud to be elected as co-chair of the @europeangreens.eu along with Vula Tsetsi. #EGPCongress2024 europeangreens.eu/news/vula-ts...

It’s not just the UK, it’s all over Europe. Rightwing, Relentless. Ruthless and R…

Did you know that @paulkenny.bsky.social the Director General at EHPA, is a Swiftie? 🎤✨ He enjoys music that connects with every generation, just as each generation has a major role in building a sustainable future! 🎥 Watch the video: youtu.be/ILgbjfDgGVE

❓ How do heat pumps impact the power sector? 🚨 Check out our new paper: "Power sector benefits of flexible heat pumps in 2030 scenarios" (published in Communications Earth & Environment @natureportfolio.bsky.social ). Details in the thread below! 👇 #renewableenergy #heatpumps

There are *still* more Michaels than women as TDs in Cork, Ireland's biggest county, a fact first noted by Holly Cairns after the 2020 election. www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic... #ge24 #missing

How about a lunchtime listen? Our director general @paulkenny.bsky.social explains his past work in Ireland, commitment to clean energy & decarbonising heat - and his five changes for a greener world! Five Degrees of Change podcast from @businesspost.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/p...

Very sorry to see Malcolm Noonan lose his seat. He was the best minister we've ever had in charge of the nature portfolio and will be a hard act to follow #GE24

Worth noting that the EU isn't the only part of the world considering electricity market reform - and doing a bad job of integrating demand side/consumer energy resources into the discussion. (Yes I know we just finished another EU power market reform but the debate on the next reform is starting.)

Delighted to join Daniel Murray on his podcast. podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/f...

Electrification is crucial to competitiveness and reaching net zero emissions but it requires change. What needs to happen? Any specific issues for Ireland? @paulkenny.bsky.social will share his views on 5 December at the Ireland Electrified conference: events.windenergyireland.com/event/Irelan...

Successful retrofit doesn't just rely on tackling costs and funding, but also enabling approaches which put people at the centre. This goes beyond the commission, but Carbon Co-op will be releasing some research in 2025 about the challenges of delivering people-centred approaches to retrofit.

We all need to become eco-populists. That means championing policies that significantly lower daily costs while lowering emissions. Heat Pumps for All, alongside much more robust tenant rights; free and better public transit; price caps on green energy; make polluters pay for the transition. (4/8)

I didn’t go to COP29, I’ll leave the politics to the politicians. Too much to do in the world of heat pumps. Hello Bluesky.

Been an interesting two weeks at #cop28

Any nerds with melcloud app trying to maximise smart meter night troughs of energy pricing?

Good so see significant progress on emissions in Ireland. 1st half 23vs 22. Electricity down 16% fertilizer down similar, home gas and kerosene down. Maybe a true
