Irish Energy Sector:
Navigating the Path to Renewable Energy
Ireland is making significant strides in its transition to renewable energy generation, with ambitious targets that align closely with the European Union’s broader goals for 2030. The country’s Climate Action Plan sets out a roadmap to achieve an 80% share of renewable energy in electricity generation by 2030, alongside a 51% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
As of 2024, renewable sources contributed approximately 46.7% of Ireland’s total electricity generation, with wind energy taking the lead, marking a major milestone in the country’s energy transition.
Energy Transition
Transitioning to renewable energy supply requires widespread electrification, replacing fossil fuel-based energy sources with renewable-powered alternatives. This shift is supported by advancements in grid technology, which improve energy distribution and efficiency, accelerating the overall transformation.
