Held on 17th September 2025 Powering our Communities 
Was an Information event for communities in the Tipperary Decarbonising Zone about clean energy options.

Are you interested in clean energy solutions for your home that can save money? Does your local community have ideas for building upgrades, rooftop solar, or community energy generation? 

A public information event on clean energy solutions will take place on Wednesday 17th September in the Moycarkey-Borris Community & Sports Centre, Littleton. The purpose of the meeting is to bring together local communities who want to progress and deliver cleaner, cheaper energy solutions in their local area.

The event will provide an opportunity for communities to network and learn from others, with updates on projects currently underway, with funding and technical advice from specialist staff from Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), Tipperary Energy Agency (TEA), EcoVision, Community Power, and Tipperary County Council.

The event will commence at 7.00pm on Wednesday 17th September with light refreshments on arrival and information stands and advice from the key service providers. Then a number of community case studies will be presented as examples of good practice for what can be achieved. Those who attend will hear from experts on specific topics such as building retrofitting, rooftop solar, and renewable electricity generation.
