This website is for everybody who wants to deepen their understanding and knowledge of energy.  

Where it comes from. 

How we use it. 

Energy is a topic that none of us can escape. Our lives depend on energy: storing and cooking our food, staying warm, travelling, working and entertainment. Energy powers our everyday lives.

Yet with energy come challenges. Fossil fuels - gas, oil, coal and peat - have been our main energy source for the longest time but their supply is limited, they produce CO2 which causes climate change and their extraction and preparation for use is expensive.

The first focus of this website is to support an online course created in cooperation with and for communities in County Clare under a programme run by Clare Local Development Company (CLDC). Please see below for more information and how to get involved.

Enjoy!

This course was designed with input collected at public meetings in Lisdoonvarna, Scarriff and Kilrush. At these public meetings WhatsApp Communities for networking purposes have also been launched. These communities allow for the exchange of experience and knowledge and to connect like-minded people on their energy journey.

• You can join the Our Home Energy WhatsApp Community. 

• You can share your own energy tips and submit questions.
