Transition to renewable energy
Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (RESS)
The Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment in Ireland has designed and developed a new support scheme for renewable electricity It’s primary objective is to incentivise sufficient renewable electricity production to enable Ireland to meet its 70% renewable electricity target and deliver its 2030 renewable electricity contribution to EU wide targets. This RESS will see a shift from guaranteed fixed prices for renewable generators (existing REFIT feed in tariffs) to a more market oriented mechanism (renewable auctions) where the cost will be determined primarily by competitive bidding between renewable generators. The volumes to be procured under RESS will be informed by Ireland’s first National Energy and Climate Plan.
Other policy objectives that will be delivered under RESS include: increasing community participation in and ownership of renewable electricity projects; increasing renewable technology diversity; and enhancing security of supply. Further details of this supporting policy objectives set out below under ‘cross-cutting’ measures section.
