Electrification

Paul is a mechanical engineer with a Master’s degree in energy and is recognised as a leading energy policy expert in Ireland and the EU. Paul ran a local energy agency – an organisation promoting the transition to clean energy at a local level – for eight years. As part of this role he established an early and successful one stop shop, which brings together home energy upgrade services for consumers. He worked as an expert for the EU’s ManagEnergy programme, which supports local and regional governments as they work towards their energy savings targets.

More recently he has worked as the policy advisor to the Irish climate and energy Minister, having helped steer the transformation of the Irish energy system with a significant increase in building renovation, a large increase in heat pump and other renewable energy technology deployment. A recent publication shows Ireland has reduced its overall greenhouse gas emissions by 6.8% in 2023 vs 2022 to reach the lowest levels in 30 years, and this alongside a thriving economy. Ireland is projected to reach a 43% reduction in energy related greenhouse gas emissions from 2018 to 2030 according to the Irish Environmental Protection Agency new policies scenario.

As the leader of the Platform for Industrial Electrification, I aspire to serve global industrial leaders and technology disruptors to optimize their portfolio, identify green business building opportunities and build more resilient supply chains so that they can fully capture the benefits of electrification and contribute to secure the net zero transition.
