Ireland White Paper Transition to a Low Carbon Energy Future 2015-2030

The Irish Government’s Energy White Paper (2015), presents a long-term strategic vision that is intended to guide the direction of Irish energy policy from now until 2030. At its heart is a commitment to transform Ireland into a low carbon society and economy by 2050 and reduce the country’s fossil fuel dependency. This ambitious vision for Ireland’s energy system envisages a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from that sector by 80-95% relative to 1990 levels by 2050. The White Paper identifies the long-term strategic importance of diversifying Ireland's energy portfolio and largely decarbonising the energy sector by 2050.

The renewable energy is an important part of that strategy.
