What is The
Smarter Energy
Challenge?
WATCH THIS VIDEO
We’re seeing a fundamental shift in the way energy is generated and consumed across the country. The Smarter Energy Challenge will guide you through three key steps to take advantage of a new smarter approach to cut energy costs, cut carbon emissions, and future-proof your organisation.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Learn about the steps to measure, plan and implement a proper energy efficiency strategy with actions including, energy audits, smart energy monitoring, building and equipment maintenance and retrofit options. Using case studies, we will look at no cost, low cost, and larger investment options and how to prioritise their implementation.
REPLACE FOSSIL FUEL HEATING
Evaluate how best to phase out fossil fuel-based heating systems and replace with renewable energy alternatives. We will examine heat pumps, biomass, heat recovery, and heat storage options. We will look at case studies and tours of successful building heating, hot water, process heating and recovery solutions.
DEMAND FLEXIBILITY
Demand flexibility may become the fastest energy cost saving option for your business. Learn how to quickly implement demand flexibility using a smart energy management system (EMS).
Learn how combining this with behind-the-meter solar generation, battery storage, and smart EV charging makes it easier to align your electricity consumption with lower energy tariff times.
Learn about solar and battery storage options, installation costs, export income potential, payback periods, and grant supports, along with guidance on alternative Energy-As-A-Service options.
SEE HOW TO SET UP A COMMUNITY OR GROUP ENERGY SCHEME
Learn how a Group Energy Scheme enables business parks, sports clubs, and community organisations to generate, store and share renewable energy, creating a more affordable, resilient and sustainable energy future. Group Energy Schemes benefit members by reducing their energy bills, generating income from surplus renewable electricity, and reinvesting savings into facilities, services and local development. By working together, business groups sports clubs, and communities can become energy prosumers, keeping more energy value within their local economy while supporting long-term energy security and sustainability.
Get guidance on SEAI grants and green finance to support your energy projects
Did you know that SEAI will offer Irish businesses and community projects more than €50 million in grant funding in 2027 and over €200 million between now and 2030 to help cover energy investment costs? Register and join us to learn how eligible businesses can access this support.

Why you should
attend
Rising energy costs, grid capacity constraints, and decarbonisation pressures are forcing every business to rethink their energy strategy
Fossil fuel price volatility, combined with carbon taxes heading for €100/tonne, is making fossil fuel energy increasingly unattractive.
Electricity suppliers are moving to dynamic tariffs. With meter prices now changing 48 times per day, business are forced to carefully manage how and when they use electricity or suffer higher bills.
Waiting times for grid connections and capacity increases are getting significantly longer. Businesses must find efficiency improvements to do more within their supply limits and supplement it with battery & solar.
Learn how best to address these challenges while moving to a cleaner, more efficient and more resilient energy solution for your organisation.
Don’t miss this opportunity to understand the changing energy landscape over the coming years. Be prepared, see real-world solutions, and come away with a strategy to cut energy costs, and future-proof your organisation against these threats.
