What people are saying about EnergyClou Ireland

“The simplicity of the approach to this project is that it can utilise existing infrastructure in the home, such as the hot water tank, to receive surplus renewable energy at times when it is not needed on the energy grid. The use of existing infrastructure in the home reduces the capital expenditure required for this project and allows for organisations such as Clúid to quickly upgrade their properties to avail of this surplus renewable energy.” Minister Darragh O’Brien TD

“This technology uses existing infrastructure in the home, such as a hot-water fuel tank, to receive surplus renewable energy at times when it is not needed on the energy grid. I welcome the trial and hope to see it become widespread.” Minister of State Ossian Smyth TD

“This is an ambitious and creative project between EnergyCloud Ireland and Amazon Web Services and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to officially launch the installation programme. The initiative by EnergyCloud Ireland and Clúid to enable 1,000 families to receive free tanks of hot water via an EnergyCloud Ireland smart device is an example of what we need to see in Ireland if we are to help tackle energy poverty and meet our climate targets.”

“The Government has clear ambitions under Climate Action Plan 2023 in relation to flexible demand management, which maximises the efficiency of our renewable electricity generation and reduces our dependence on fossil fuel generation at peak demand times. As more and more smart energy solutions for renewable energy generation, storage and sharing continue to be developed, the Government expects more homes to be able to take advantage of excess renewable energy, thereby reducing their energy costs and carbon footprint.” Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan TD
