Alarmingly, 27% of households have gone without heating or electricity at some point in the past two years due to affordability issues.<\/p>\n<p>Yet between 2016 and 2024, according to SONI, more than 3,098 GWh of zero-carbon wind energy was dispatched down \u2013 renewable energy with an approximate retail value of \u00a3770 million, enough to have heated over 1 billion tanks of hot water. There is a real opportunity to use this energy in social housing homes and help reduce the impact of fuel poverty.<\/p>\n<p>EnergyCloud Northern Ireland is a not-for-profit social enterprise, supported by a growing range of partners and stakeholders, working together to harness this excess renewable energy for the benefit of households most at risk of fuel poverty.<\/p>\n<p>We are surrounded by vast natural resources and by collaborating across sectors, with Government, housing bodies and energy providers, we can reduce Northern Ireland\u2019s reliance on fossil fuels while improving the lives of families in need.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content__footer\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content__footer-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is estimated that \u00a3272 million worth of renewable energy was wasted in Northern Ireland in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>EnergyCloud Northern Ireland is a not-for-profit social enterprise, supported by a growing range of partners and stakeholders, working together to harness this surplus renewable energy for the benefit of households most at risk of fuel poverty.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"button with-arrow normal\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/energycloud.org\/northern-ireland\/about-us\/\" \t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Read more\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead more\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<use xlink:href=\"#arrow\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"page-section image-content__block animate-entry animate-entry__fade-up\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/energycloud.org\/northern-ireland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-14.39.57.avif);\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEnergyCloud Northern Ireland is working with partners to use some of the wasted renewable energy to provide free renewable energy to families in fuel poverty. \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-56","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
