National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) are the framework within which European Union Member States must plan their climate and energy objectives, targets, policies, and measures to the European Commission. The Governance Regulation, within which the NECP framework sits, consolidated the existing patchwork of planning, monitoring, and reporting obligations Member States had under the different pieces of EU legislation across energy, climate, and other Energy Union related policy areas. Member States were required to develop NECPs on a ten-year rolling basis, with an update halfway through that covers the five Dimensions of the Energy Union. This document represents the required update of Ireland’s 2019 NECP.
Irelands Draft updated NECP 2021-2030 (Updated version)
In accordance with the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action Regulation, our draft updated National Energy & Climate Plan (NECP) 2021-2030 was submitted to the European Commission in December 2023. It outlines our energy and climate policies in detail for the period from 2021 to 2030 and looks onwards to 2050. This draft will be further revised to incorporate comments from the Commission, public consultation and updated policies and targets. A final version of the NECP is due to be submitted in June 2024.
We are holding a consultation on the draft NECP and its content.
