Bryson and EnergyCloud Northern Ireland have announced a new partnership aimed at helping
households experiencing fuel poverty benefit from surplus renewable electricity generated across
Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Through the initiative, families supported by Bryson are now being connected to the EnergyCloud
programme, which redirects excess wind energy that would otherwise be wasted and uses it to heat
water in participating homes. Several households have already been connected in recent weeks as the
programme begins to roll out.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership brings together Bryson\u2019s long-standing expertise in supporting vulnerable households
with EnergyCloud\u2019s innovative approach to using surplus renewable energy for social benefit.
EnergyCloud operates as a neutral coordination platform that enables surplus renewable electricity,
which is generated when wind output exceeds system demand, to be safely absorbed by participating
homes. Rather than being curtailed, this surplus energy can be used to heat household hot water tanks,
helping reduce energy costs for families most in need.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is supported by four of Northern Ireland\u2019s energy retailers, and EnergyCloud Northern
Ireland would like to thank Budget Energy, Click Energy, Share Energy and SSE Airtricity for their
support in helping make the programme possible.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamie Delargy, Chairperson of EnergyCloud Northern Ireland, welcomed the partnership:
\u201cWorking with Bryson is a great positive for EnergyCloud Northern Ireland given the organisation\u2019s long
track record in helping disadvantaged people. We believe we can assist Bryson in its drive to reduce fuel
poverty.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nigel Brady, Director of Bryson Energy, said the organisation is pleased to be working with EnergyCloud
to bring the benefits of renewable energy directly to families who need it most.
\u201cBryson are delighted to be working with EnergyCloud on this initiative to try and bring excess wind power into the homes of those that live in deprived areas, and we can help those people to minimise their energy bills on heating their hot water. It\u2019s a win-win situation for the household, for Bryson and for EnergyCloud.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration marks another step in the growing effort to ensure that Northern Ireland\u2019s expanding
renewable energy resources can deliver tangible benefits to communities while helping tackle fuel
poverty.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As more households are connected over the coming months, Bryson and EnergyCloud Northern Ireland
hope the programme will demonstrate how renewable energy surpluses can be harnessed to support
vulnerable households while strengthening the fairness of the energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
