Advocating equitable access to energy in Ireland

4/23/2026 Calor Ireland

SHV Energy believes everyone should have fair and equitable access to energy. In Ireland, rural and off-grid households often lack access to lower cost, lower-carbon energy options. So, when the country's new government shared plans for low-carbon heating, we wanted to make sure all voices were heard.

Together with Liquid Gas Ireland, we launched an educational campaign about LPG and bioLPG. The campaign emphasised that a balanced energy transition must provide choice and affordability of heating solutions for off-grid consumers.

Ireland’s Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment welcomed the campaign report on pathways to net zero for rural Ireland. He highlighted that the Government is committed to exploring all options available to deliver a Just Transition to decarbonisation.
