Ireland's National Renewable Energy Action Plan
Article 4 of Directive 2009/28/EC on renewable energy requires each Member State to adopt a national renewable energy action plan (NREAP) to be submitted to the European Commission. The plan is to set out the Member State’s national targets for the share of energy from renewable sources consumed in transport, electricity and heating and cooling in 2020, demonstrating how the Member State will meet their overall national target established under the Directive. Ireland submitted its National Renewable Energy Action Plan to the European Commission in July 2010.See Ireland's National Renewable Energy Action PlanSee the EU's transparency platform which links to all EU MS Action PlansFollow on Queries from EC on NREAPResponse to EC Queries on NREAP Cover letter to EC Queries on NREAPTemplate from EC for first report on NREAPIreland's first report to the European Commission on the NREAP(submitted in January 2012 under Article 22 of Directive 2009/28/EC.)Plean Gnímh Náisiúnta um Fhuinneamh In-Athnuaite (PGNFI) PGNFI: An Chéad Tuairsc faoin dul chun chinnSee Directive 2009/28/ECResponses from 11/6/2010 to 25/6/2010 on the draft National Renewable Energy Action Plan An Taisce 1aAn Taisce 1bArt LtdArthur CoxBirdwatch LimitedBord na Mona plcCarlow County CouncilCoastal Concern AllianceCoillteCommissioner for Energy RegulationCompetence Centre for Biorefining and BioenergyCounty and City Managers Association Environment CommitteeDamien NeeDepartment of Agriculture Fisheries and FoodDepartment of FinanceDonegal County CouncilEnergy Solutions EuropeESBFIGForfas, Enterprise Ireland, IDA4 Front Energy and EnvironmentalFuel SynergyGaelforce Energy LtdGeothermal Association of IrelandGT EnergyHSEIBEC IBEC extraIFA (Irish Farmers Association)ILDN (Irish Local Development Network)IrBea (Irish Bioenergy Association)Irish Environmental NetworkIrish Timber Growers AssociationIWEAJHM CropsKilkenny Leader Partnership, Carlow Kilkenny Energy Agency and Kilkenny Sustainable Energy ForumLimerick Clare Energy AgencyLimerick County CouncilMainstream Renewable PowerMartin HoganMEGA (Micro Electricity Generation Association)MRIA (Marine Renewables Industry Association)Natural Hydro Energy on behalf of the Spirit of Ireland projectNeil CoyleNOW IrelandOFTECJOC on Climate Change and Energy SecurityRAIDRIAI (Regulatory and support body for Architects in Ireland)RPS GroupSmart TaxesSolaris-EnergySSE RenewablesSustainability InstituteUCC (University College Cork)University of LimerickWalter Ryan Purcell aWalter Ryan Purcell bWestern Development Commission aWestern Development Commission bWoodland Managers LtdThe draft NREAP document on which the responses to the public consultation were received can be found for reference purposes here.Statutory Instruments on Renewable EnergyS.I. 147 of 2011 - European Communities (Renewable Energy) Regulations 2011This S.I. pertains to the implementation of Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources.
