The Cost of Retrofitting: A Barrier for Homeowners (2026)
Ireland’s retrofit program is at a crossroads between ambitious climate goals and real-world affordability, and the numbers are telling a stark story: even after grants, deep retrofits remain a hefty price tag for many homeowners. Personally, I think this tension exposes a deeper truth about energy policy in practice: the greening of homes can’t rely on a one-size-fits-all subsidy, or on optimism about easy paybacks. What makes this particularly fascinating is how cost, credit access, and social equity collide in a way that reveals who really benefits from “green upgrades.”
