Live Grid Carbon
How clean is Ireland's electricity right now?

The carbon cost of your electricity changes every 15 minutes. Wind is clean. Gas is not. Smart devices use energy when the grid is greenest.

🚘 If you charged your EV right now

Based on the current grid carbon intensity of 218 gCO2/kWh, a full charge of a Tesla Model Y (83 kWh from the wall) would produce:

18.1
kg CO2 per charge

With Driving Green smart charging during tonight's wind peak (est. 80 gCO2/kWh):

6.6
kg CO2 per charge

63% less carbon. Same full charge. Same car.

🍃 Your annual EV carbon impact

The average Irish driver covers ~16,000 km/year. Here is what that looks like in carbon for a Tesla Model Y:

Charging randomly (grid average)
627 kg CO2
Charging at peak (gas heavy)
980 kg CO2
Smart charging with Driving Green
280 kg CO2
Compared to petrol equivalent
2,700 kg CO2

Smart charging your EV saves 347 kg CO2/year vs random charging. That's 1.7 return flights to London.

What's Coming
Your energy costs are about to change.

Two major regulatory shifts are heading for Irish households. Both will significantly impact your electricity and heating bills.

2027/2028

Dynamic Electricity Pricing

Ireland's five largest suppliers must offer dynamic price contracts. Your electricity price will change every 30 minutes. Without smart devices, peak hours could cost significantly more than today.

Unmanaged household impact: +€200 to +€500/year
2028

ETS2 Carbon Pricing on Heating

The EU's new carbon trading system will price fossil fuel heating for the first time. Gas and oil suppliers will pass this cost through. Initial cap: ~€45/tonne CO2.

Gas home: +~€100/yr | Oil home: +~€160/yr

How It Works
Three steps. No hardware. Just software.

Driving Green connects to your existing devices through software. No engineers, no installation, no rewiring.

01

Tell us what you have

Select the devices you already own: home battery, solar panels, EV charger, electric vehicle, heat pump, smart hot water. If it's smart, it can connect.

02

We connect via software

Our platform connects through your devices' existing APIs. No physical installation, no hardware to buy, no engineer visit. Pure software.

03

Start saving and earning

Your devices automatically charge when energy is cheap and clean, power your home during expensive peaks, and export unused energy to the grid for rewards.
