Ireland's retrofit reality — tracked
Ireland is targeting 500,000 home upgrades to B2 and 400,000 heat pumps by 2030. The bottleneck isn't homeowner demand — it's delivery. We track what's actually happening.

Why a "tracker" section
Ireland's Climate Action Plan sets a target of 500,000 home energy upgrades to a B2 BER and 400,000 heat pumps installed in existing homes by 2030. By the end of 2024 the country had delivered roughly 11.5% of the B2 target and 3.5% of the heat pump target (ESRI, March 2026). Hitting the 2030 numbers needs a roughly 6× to 30× acceleration in annual delivery.
The constraint is supply, not demand. Warmer Homes Scheme wait times sit at ~21 months on average. One-Stop-Shop deep-retrofit applicants regularly report 18–24 month timelines from first contact to completion. Heat pump installer capacity, in particular, is the most-cited binding constraint in parliamentary evidence.
We publish the live numbers — sourced from SEAI, Oireachtas Parliamentary Questions, and the ESRI — so homeowners, trade buyers, manufacturers, and policy watchers can see what's actually happening.
