IEA – Powering Ireland’s Energy Future: Approaches for a Secure, Renewables-Led Electricity System to 2035

This report focuses on Ireland's transition to a secure, renewables-led electricity system by 2035.

It examines the integration of wind power and the broader electricity system transformation to support Ireland’s climate, energy, and socio-economic ambitions. The report highlights Ireland as a frontrunner in wind power integration, with wind supplying about one-third of electricity in 2024. Electricity demand is expected to potentially double by 2035, requiring faster infrastructure development and renewable deployment. It also emphasizes the need for a unified cross-sectoral energy strategy and outlines five pillars for policy action including energy security and infrastructure development.
