What Is Community Power?
Community Power launched in November 2019 as Ireland's first community-owned electricity supplier. The renewable supplier's origins lie with Templederry Wind Farm in County Tipperary, which is also a first of its kind in Ireland as a community-owned wind farm.
Nowadays, Community Power purchases electricity from small and micro renewable energy generators (mainly hydro and wind) across Ireland and sells it on to users.
The company has strong ties to local communities and is endorsed by several energy co-operatives. It is also supported as part of the European Regional Development Fund.
Community Power’s main three pillars of action are:
- To part fund and manage community-owned renewable energy sources.
- To sell electricity to communities and the Irish energy market.
- To provide a structure of ownership for local and small energy producers and keep revenue generated in the community, benefitting local economies.
Community energy groups collaborating with Community Power include:
- Aran Islands Energy Co-op
- Claremorris and Western District Energy Co-op
- Energy Communities Tipperary Co-operative
- Templederry Wind Farm
- Community Power Limerick
- Friends of the Earth
What Is Community Power Fuel Mix?
The majority of Community Power's fuel comes from renewable sources with the remainder made up of fossil fuels such as oil and gas.
While the company may not use 100% renewable energy, they pride themselves on supporting Irish sourced, renewable energy through community projects.
This is in contrast to larger suppliers who promote themselves as '100% green' by purchasing carbon offsets to compensate for the carbon emitting fuels that make up their fuel mix.
Below you'll find the complete fuel mix for Community Power.
