Climate targets: Energy
-
This country is a member of the EU and so EU NDC data is being displayed.
-
-
Reduce CO2 eq. emissions from the electricity sector by 50–55% relative to 2030 Pre-NDP projections
-
Onshore wind capacity of up to 8.2 GW by 2030
-
Up to 1.5 GW of grid scale solar energy by 2030
-
At least 3.5 GW of offshore renewable energy by 2030
-
70% renewable electricity generation by 2030
-
34% share of renewable energy in energy consumption by 2030
-
15% of electricity demand by renewable sources contracted under Corporate PPAsSource:
-
70% renewable electricity production by 2030Source:
-
phase out of coal- & peat-fired electricity generationSource:
-
50-55% emission reduction from electricity sector by 2030Source:
-
Achieving at least 32.5% improvement in energy efficiency by 2030.
-
(GHG) emissions from the energy sector will be reduced by between 80% and 95%, compared to 1990 levels, by 2050, and will fall to zero or below by 2100 by 2050, 2100 against a 2015 baseline
-
33% energy efficiency improvement in public sector by 2020 against a 2009 baseline
-
20% energy efficiency improvement (31,925 GWh saved energy) by 2020 against a 2009 baseline
-
40% elecricity from renewables by 2020
-
16% renewable of total energy consumed by 2020
-
Ireland's 2020 renewable energy target is to increase the share of national energy consumption made up of renewable energy sources (RES) to 16%. This target is broken into three key sectors with individual targets for each sector: 40% of electricity supply (RES-E), 12% of heating (RES-H), and 10% of transport (RES-T) by 2020 against a 2015 baseline
-
To increase electricity generated from renewable sources to 70%.
-
To achieve a 34% share of renewable energy in energy consumption by 2030.
