Belfast, February 25, 2025 – EnergyCloud Northern Ireland has submitted an ambitious proposal to the Department for Communities, outlining a groundbreaking initiative that aims to alleviate fuel poverty by redirecting surplus renewable energy to low-income households. 

In its submission, the organisation highlights the severity of fuel poverty in Northern Ireland, where nearly one in four households spends over 10% of their income on energy costs. A recent study by National Energy Action (NEA) NI found that 27% of households had gone without heating or electricity at some point in the past two years due to financial constraints. The submission underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions to this crisis.
