Putting People

at the Heart of Climate Action

The energy transition is not only about technology, it is about people!

At Tipperary Energy Agency (TEA), we collaborate with communities, local authorities and national agencies like SEAI to ensure that citizens are active participants in Ireland’s clean energy journey.

As a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, TEA has been a trusted delivery partner for SEAI’s Sustainable Energy Communities (SEC) programme, and a leader in EU-funded projects that strengthen community capacity, build trust, and ensure local ownership of climate action.
