To incentivise further future electricity interconnection with neighbouring countries/markets, the Programme for Government and Climate Action Plan commit DECC to updating Ireland’s existing interconnector policy. Action 110 of the Climate Action Plan 2021 further requires that this update must take place by Q4 2022.
DECC International and Offshore Energy division will update the interconnection policy via two principle workstreams: 1) Public Consultation; 2) Procuring an external energy consultancy to conduct a study into the impact of increased interconnection on achieving Ireland’s increased climate and energy ambition, which will form the evidence base for updating Government’s existing policy.
