1  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  

Despite  having  limited  direct  exposure  to  Russian  gas1,  the  consequences  of  the  Russian 
aggression in Ukraine have substantially impacted the Irish economy. This has highlighted 
key  dependencies  in  Ireland’s  energy  system  and  has  led  to  significant  affordability  issues  for 
many  consumers  and  businesses.  Fossil  fuels  accounted  for  88  %  of  Ireland’s  gross  available 
energy in 20212, which translates into a high energy import dependency on third countries (70 % 
in  20213).  In  parallel,  the  share  of  Renewable  Energy  Sources  (RES)  in  gross  final  energy 
consumption (13.1 %) has a significant potential for increase. Therefore, the REPowerEU chapter 
of  the  Irish  Recovery  and  Resilience  Plan  (RRP)  will  contribute  towards  decreasing  the 
dependency on fossil fuels and imports of the Irish energy system.  

Ireland has submitted a REPowerEU chapter that contains measures to accelerate the green 
transition.  Ireland  relied  on  Article  21c  of  Regulation  (EU)  2021/241  to  include  additional 
resources from ETS revenues or from the Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR) for its REPowerEU 
chapter. The REPowerEU chapter submitted by Ireland contains measures that help address the 
key  challenges  of  the  Irish  energy  sector,  enhance  energy  efficiency,  decrease  primary  energy 
consumption,  and  increase  the  renewable  energy  capacity  of  Ireland.  The  proposed  measures 
comprise of 5 investments and 1 reform. The investments support the production of sustainable 
biomethane  in  Ireland,  sustainable  transport  through  the  installation  of  train  battery  charging 
infrastructure, as well as several energy efficiency interventions in public building stock such as 
schools  and  hospitals.  The  proposed  reform  enables  deployment  of  offshore  renewable  energy 
sources through the publication of a policy statement committing to a plan-led deployment regime, 
adoption of dedicated Maritime Offshore Areas and auctioning of offshore renewables capacity.  

The chapter aims to decrease energy consumption and enhance the generation of renewable 
energy  and  contributes  to  REPowerEU  objectives.  To  reinforce  security  of  supply,  the 
REPowerEU chapter aims at reducing demand for fossil fuels and at developing renewable gas 
supply  and  generation  of  renewable  electricity.  This  will  ultimately  strengthen  the  resilience, 
security and sustainability of the European Union's energy system and promote the diversity of its 
energy  supply.  The  Irish  RRP  will  enhance  the  flexibility  of  the  energy  sector  in  Ireland  by 
decreasing primary energy use, thereby improving the resilience and security of the EU's energy 
system. Allocating funds towards the deployment of technologies in the green sector, namely those 
pertaining  to  renewable  energy,  decarbonisation,  and  energy  efficiency,  will  also  bolster  the 
availability of essential technologies required for the Union's transition towards sustainability. 

In addition, Ireland has requested an amendment of its current RRP to the Commission. 
Ireland has relied on the Article 21 to amend the RRP due to objective circumstances hindering 
the fulfilment of certain measures as originally planned, such as identification of manifestly better

alternatives to achieve the original same ambition and the stronger than anticipated post-pandemic 
recovery of the labour market. 

Based on the assessment of the submitted REPowerEU chapter, the Irish plan receives and 
A-rating on all criteria, except for costing, where the plan receives a B-rating. This means 
that the initial assessment of the Irish recovery and resilience plan is unchanged, while the 
criteria related directly to REPowerEU (criteria 12 and 13) receives and A-rating.

2  OBJECTIVES OF THE MODIFICATION OF THE PLAN  

In 2022 and 2023, the supply chain disruptions and rising energy prices following Russia’s 
invasion of Ukraine led to a surge in inflation in Ireland and in the EU as a whole. This further 
highlighted  the  need  to  reduce  Ireland’s  dependency  on  fossil  fuel  imports  and  accelerate  its 
transition towards a climate-neutral energy system, in line with the 2023 Country Report and the 
Country Specific Recommendation (CSR) 4. CSR 4 also highlighted the need for streamlining the 
planning and permitting framework for renewables, and support to energy efficiency in buildings 
to reduce energy bills and energy system costs. 

The  modified  recovery  and  resilience  plan  of  Ireland  adds  a  new  REPowerEU  chapter 
pursuant to Article 21(c) of  the RRF  Regulation, which aims at  addressing some of these 
challenges.  It  includes  both  a  reform  and  investment  measures  related  to  boosting  energy 
efficiency  in  buildings,  increasing  the  production  and  uptake  of  sustainable  biomethane, 
supporting zero-emission transport infrastructure, and accelerating the deployment of renewable 
energy, which also contribute to the reduction of energy demand,  in line with the objectives of 
Article 21(c) of the RRF Regulation.  

Ireland will benefit from an additional EUR 239 million in grants to support the investments 
and  reforms  in  the  REPowerEU  chapter.  To  this  end,  Ireland  has  requested  to  transfer  a 
provisional  allocation  from  the  resources  of  the  Brexit  Adjustment  Reserve  (BAR)  and  the 
Emissions Trading System to the Facility. In line with Article 4a of Regulation (EU) 2021/1755, 
Ireland has requested and benefits from the transfer of resources from the BAR of EUR 150 million 
and  from  the  revenue  from  the  Emissions  Trading  System  for  EUR  89  million  to  the  Facility. 
Ireland has not requested any loan support for the purpose of the REPowerEU chapter on top of 
the REPowerEU grants worth EUR 239 million. 

In  addition,  Ireland  made  a  reasoned  request  to  the  Commission  to  make  a  proposal  to 
postpone  milestone  94  of  the  Council  Implementing  Decision  of  8  September  2021  in 

3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
accordance with Article 21 of RRF Regulation. This is on the grounds that unexpected progress 
in  the  6th  Anti-Money  Laundering  Directive  discussions  at  EU  level  constitute  objective 
circumstances to postpone the milestone to the 5th payment request as doing so would provide for 
a  more  effective  Anti-Money  Laundering  reform,  in  line  with  the  6th  Anti-Money  Laundering 
Directive. With regard to all assessment criteria set out in Article 19(3) of the RRF Regulation this 
timeline change does not affect the positive assessment of the initial RRP and therefore no further 
in-depth analysis is needed. 

The modified recovery and resilience plan of Ireland also introduces minor changes in the 
measures in components 2 and 3 in line with article 21 of the RRF Regulation. For all measures 
for  which  a  change  is  introduced,  the  proposed  wording  equally  achieves  the  objective  of  the 
measure without reducing its ambition, but in a different way. With regard to all assessment criteria 
set  out  in  Article  19(3)  of  the  RRF  Regulation,  these  amendments  do  not  affect  the  positive 
assessment of the initial RRP and therefore no further in-depth analysis is needed. 

Overview of the REPowerEU chapter 

The REPowerEU chapter is the fifth component of the Irish Recover and Resilience Plan. Its main 
elements are listed below. 

The chapter includes investments in the scaling-up of the production of sustainable biomethane in 
Ireland  through  the  adoption  of  a  dedicated  biomethane  strategy  and  an  action  plan,  and  the 
introduction  of  a  capital  grant  for  the  building  and  upgrade  of  the  production  capacity  of 
sustainable biomethane (Investment 5.1). The chapter also supports an investment in sustainable 
rail transport with the installation of a train battery charging infrastructure on the route from Dublin 
City Centre to Drogheda on the Northern Line, thus facilitating the deployment of battery electric 
rolling stock (Investment 5.2). The chapter contributes to improving energy efficiency of public 
buildings with dedicated interventions in community nursing units and hospital assets (Investment 
5.3),  public  schools  (combined  with  the  delivery  phase  of  the  Energy  Profile  Programme  to 
identify further cost-efficient energy interventions) (Investment 5.4), and a public office building 
(Investment 5.5).   

The chapter further includes a reform which aims to introduce a plan-led regime in the deployment 
of offshore renewable energy through the introduction of a policy statement, the adoption of  a 
designated maritime planning area by the Irish parliament (the Oireachtas), as well as an auction 
of  offshore  renewable  energy  capacity.  This  contributes  towards  enabling  5  gigawatt  (GW)  of 
offshore renewable energy capacity in Ireland by 2030 (Reform 5.6).

Working Document COM(2021)205 final remains valid. 

On  gender  equality  and  equal  opportunities  for  all:  Ireland  has  explained  that  several 
REPowerEU measures will have a positive impact on gender equality and equal opportunities for 
all. In general, the investment and reform measures outlined in Ireland's REPowerEU chapter will 
contribute towards diversification opportunities for people impacted by the transition  to  a low-
carbon economy, as well as decrease the dependency of the Irish energy system on imported fossil 
fuel.  These initiatives  also  aim to  mitigate the consequences of high  and volatile energy  costs, 
which  disproportionately  affect  individuals  with  a  smaller  disposable  income.  The  measure  on 
sustainable  transport  on  the  route  from  Dublin  City  Centre  to  Drogheda  is  further  expected  to 
contribute toward increased collective mobility, which can increase the accessibility for persons 
with  disabilities  and  other  mobility  restrictions  while  contributing  to  the  green  transition. 
Furthermore, in contrast to men (80%), fewer women (66%) own or have access to a vehicle in 
Dublin, according to research4; therefore, enhanced public transport services will benefit a greater 
proportion  of  women.  Improving  the  environment  (and  security)  of  stations  as  well  as  the 
frequency  and  reliability  of  public  transport  services  have  been  shown  to  be  advantageous  in 
encouraging more women to utilise public transport5. Along with the Health Service Executive 
Pathfinder Programme, the retrofit programmes outlined in the chapter will increase sustainable 
employment in green enterprise, improve the quality of school buildings and hospitals for all, and 
assist in mitigating the effects of climate change and the transition to a low-carbon society on those 
who are most adversely affected by it.   

On state aid: State aid and competition rules fully apply to the measures funded by the Recovery 
and Resilience Facility. Union funds channelled through the authorities of Member States, like the

RRF funds, become State resources and can constitute State aid. When this is the case and State 
aid is present, these measures must be notified and approved by the Commission before Member 
States can grant the aid, unless those measures are covered by an existing aid scheme or comply 
with the applicable conditions of a block exemption regulation, in particular the General Block 
Exemption  Regulation  (GBER) declaring  certain categories of aid  compatible with  the internal 
market in application of Articles 107 and 108 TFEU6. When State aid is present and it requires 
notification, it is the duty of the Member State to notify State aid measures to the Commission 
before  granting  them,  in  compliance  with  Article  108(3)  TFEU.  In  this  respect,  the  State  aid 
analysis carried out by Ireland in the recovery and resilience plan cannot be deemed a State aid 
notification. In as far as Ireland considers that a specific measure contained in the recovery and 
resilience plan entails de minimis aid or aid exempted from the notification requirement, it is the 
responsibility of Ireland to ensure full compliance with the applicable rules. 

3  SUMMARY OF THE ASSESSMENT OF THE PLAN 

The revision of Ireland’s RRP includes the addition of a REPowerEU chapter. This addition 
is based on Article 21c of the RRF Regulation to include additional non-repayable resources from 
ETS revenues and transfers from the Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR). The primary focus has 
thus been placed on assessing the impacts deriving from this addition on the REPowerEU criteria 
emanating from the RRF Regulation. In addition, the revision includes an amendment of Ireland’s 
current RRP due to objective circumstances based on the Article 21.

Key: “●” investments and reforms of the component significantly contribute to the pillar; “○” the 
component partially contributes to the pillar 

The Irish RRP, as well as the inclusion of the REPowerEU chapter, continue to comprehensively 
cover the six pillars structuring the scope of application of the Facility. This concerns (i) green 
transition,  (ii) digital  transformation,  (iii) smart,  sustainable &  inclusive growth  (iv) social and 
territorial cohesion, (v) health and economic, social, and institutional resilience, and (vi) policies 
for the next generation. For components 1 through 3, the contribution to the six pillars has not been 
modified  in  this  table  compared  to  the  original  RRP.  The  modifications  associated  with  the 
introduction of the REPowerEU chapter do not affect the assessment of the criteria compared to 
the original RRP and the subsequent revision. All pillars are covered by at least one component, 
while a component may contribute toward multiple pillars. The introduction of the REPowerEU 
chapter entails the further contribution towards several pillars. 

*** 

Taking into consideration all reforms and investments envisaged by Ireland, its modified recovery 
and  resilience  plan  continues  to  represent,  to  a  large  extent,  a  comprehensive  and  adequately 
balanced response to the economic and social situation, thereby contributing appropriately to all 
six pillars referred to in Article 3 of the RRF Regulation, taking the specific challenges and the 
financial allocation of Ireland into account. This would warrant a rating of A under criterion 2.1 
in Annex V to the RRF Regulation.

3.2  Link with country-specific recommendations and the European Semester  

Overall, Ireland’s modified RRP still represents a comprehensive and adequate response to 
the economic and social challenges faced by Ireland. Through the introduction of a new reform 
and  several  new  investments  in  the  context  of  the  REPowerEU  chapter,  the  plan  continues  to 
address  all  or  a  significant  subset  of  challenges  identified  in  the  relevant  country-specific 
recommendations.  

Components 2 and 3 do not materially change their contribution to addressing a significant 
subset of the challenges identified in the relevant CSRs. The overall ambition of the existing 
RRP of Ireland remains the same and continues to address all or a significant subset of CSRs, in 
line with the original assessment.  

The REPowerEU chapter supports addressing the country-specific recommendations on reducing 
overall reliance on fossil fuels (country-specific recommendation 4.1 in 2022 and 4.1 in 2023) by 
accelerating the deployment of renewable energy, in particular offshore wind, and streamlining 
the planning and permitting framework for renewables (country-specific recommendation 4.2 in 
2022 and 4.4 in 2023), as well as implementing additional measures that support energy efficiency 
in private and public buildings to reduce energy bills and energy system costs (country-specific 
recommendation 4.5 in 2023). 

*** 

The nature and extent of the proposed modifications to Ireland’s recovery and resilience plan do 
not have a material impact on the previous assessment (rating of A) of the contribution of the plan 
to  addressing  all  or  a  significant  subset  of  challenges  identified  in  the  country-specific 
recommendations, or challenges in other relevant documents officially adopted by the Commission 
under the European Semester, and of  the adequacy of  its response to the economic and social 
situation of Ireland, as reflected in the previous SWD COM(2021) 205. 

3.3  Growth potential, job creation, economic, institutional and social resilience, European 
Pillar of Social Rights, mitigating the impact of the crisis, and social territorial cohesion 
and convergence  

The Irish RRP and inclusion of a REPowerEU chapter continues to contribute towards economic 
cohesion and to address vulnerabilities of the economy. Measures in the REPowerEU chapter are 
expected to contribute to decrease the dependency of the Irish economy on gas imports through 
development of renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind and biomethane, combined with 
energy efficiency interventions to reduce the consumption of primary energy. The addition of the 
REPowerEU chapter also addresses slightly the aspect of social cohesion through the provision of 
energy efficiency interventions to decrease the primary energy consumption of the public sector 
building  stock.  Such  modernisation  efforts  of  both  school-  and  hospital  buildings  contributes 
towards  the  provision  of  adequate  public  services,  which  increases  the  responsiveness  and 
accessibility of both healthcare and education services. Additionally, investments in sustainable 
public  transport  will  contribute  to  increased  labour  mobility,  which  is  particularly  relevant  for 

8 

 
 
 
 
 
increasing  mobility  for  disadvantaged  community  workers  and  people  with  disabilities.  Such 
efforts should contribute towards the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights.  

At the same time, the REPowerEU chapter does not make additional contributions to mitigating 
the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 crisis.  

*** 

The nature and extent of the proposed modifications to Ireland’s recovery and resilience plan do 
not have a material impact on the previous assessment (rating of A) of the plan’s impact on the 
growth potential, job creation, and economic, social and institutional resilience of the Member 
State, on contributing to the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, including 
through the promotion of policies for children and youth, and on mitigating the economic and 
social impact of the COVID-19 crisis, thereby enhancing the economic, social and territorial 
cohesion and convergence within the Union, as reflected in the previous SWD COM(2021) 205. 

3.4  The principle of ‘do no significant harm’  

Ireland’s RRP and REPowerEU chapter assesses compliance with the “Do No Significant Harm” 
principle (DNSH)  for  each of the six  objectives  under Article 17 of the  Taxonomy  Regulation 
(EU) 2020/852. The assessment follows the methodology as set out in the Commission’s technical 
guidance  on  the  application  of  “Do  No  Significant  Harm”  under  the  RRF  Regulation  (2021/c 
58/01).  As  required  by  the  RRF  Regulation,  the  environmental  impact  of  each  reform  and 
investment is assessed, also for the new measures introduced in the REPowerEU chapter. None of 
the measures included in the REPowerEU chapter makes use of the targeted exemption from the 
DNSH principle for those reforms and investments that contribute towards the first REPowerEU 
objective of improving energy infrastructure and facilities to meet immediate security of supply 
concerns.  

*** 

The nature and extent of the proposed modifications to Ireland’s recovery and resilience plan do 
not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  previous  assessment  (rating  of  A)  that  no  measure  for  the 
implementation  of  reforms  and  investment  projects  included  in  the  plan  is  expected  to  do  a 
significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 
No  2020/852  (the  principle  of  ‘do  no  significant  harm’),  as  reflected  in  the  previous  SWD 
COM(2021) 205. 

3.5  Green transition 

The inclusion of a REPowerEU chapter to the Irish RRP has increased the contribution of the plan 
to the green transition, with respect to the initial assessment. The measures contained in the Irish 
REPowerEU chapter contributes towards attaining the European Union’s 2030 climate targets and 
Green Deal objective of climate neutrality by 2050. The REPowerEU chapter contributes towards 
significant reductions in energy demand as well as further deployment of renewable energy. 

9 

 
 
 
 
 
Three investments in the chapter aim to decrease primary energy consumption in public building 
stock  through  investments  in  energy  efficiency  interventions.  These  interventions  have  the 
objective of reducing primary energy demand by at least 30% on average. Energy used for heating 
and cooling accounts for 24% of Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions7. Therefore, such investments 
provide a significant contribution to reducing emissions stemming from the built environment and 
the public sector in Ireland.  

Oil is the main source of energy in Ireland (48% of the total energy available in 2021)8. In 2022, 
oil products demand was primarily in the transport sector (70%), followed by buildings (18.5%) 
and industry (8.5%)9. Investments into sustainable transport will therefore contribute to reducing 
emissions associated with the transport sector of Ireland. The provision of battery electric trains 
and charging stations for the Dublin to Drogheda route will enable zero-emissions transport for a 
large  number  of  commuters,  contributing  to  both  increased  public  mobility  and  a  reduction  of 
transport emissions.  

The reform on plan-led development of offshore wind deployment and investment in increasing 
the production of sustainable biomethane are expected to facilitate the integration of energy from 
renewable sources. Currently, Ireland is lagging behind the rest of the EU when it comes to overall 
share  of  energy  from  renewable  sources10.  Ireland  ranked  27  among  the  27  Member  States  on 
production capacity, with 13 % energy from renewable sources. 

Climate target 

On the basis of the assessment guidelines provided for in sub-criterion 5b, the measures in the 
modified RRP, including the REPowerEU chapter, supporting climate change objectives account 
for  50.2%  of  the  plan’s  total  allocation,  ahead  of  the  37%  requirement.  This  is  based  on  the 
methodology for climate tracking set out in Annex VI to Regulation (EU) 2021/241. Additionally, 
the measures included in the REPowerEU chapter supporting climate change objectives account 
for 81.6% of the chapter's allocation, ahead of the 37% requirement, based on the methodology 
for climate tracking set out in Annex VI of that Regulation.  

*** 

Taking into consideration the assessment of all the measures envisaged, the modified recovery and 
resilience  plan,  including  its  REPowerEU  chapter,  is  expected,  to  a  large  extent,  to  make  a 
significant contribution to the green transition or to address the challenges resulting from it and 
ensures that at least 37% of its total allocation contributes to the climate target. At least 37% of 
the total estimated costs of the REPowerEU chapter contribute to the climate target. This would 
warrant a rating of A under criterion 2.5 of Annex V to the RRF Regulation.

3.6  Digital transition 

Given that  the primary  objective of the REPowerEU is  to  support the green transition, there is 
limited  digital  content.  However,  one  example  of  a  measure  that  is  relevant  from  a  digital 
perspective is the Energy Profile Inventory of Schools. The project, when completed, will provide 
the Department of Education with the ability to dynamically review and interrogate digital data on 
up to 4,000 schools to support reductions of greenhouse gas emissions.  

Digital target 

Based on the methodology set out in Annex VII to the RRF Regulation, the plan’s contribution to 
digital  objectives  accounts  for  34.2%  of  the  modified  plan’s  maximum  financial  contribution 
(excluding the REPowerEU chapter). This is above the 20% target set out in the RRF Regulation. 

*** 

The nature and extent of the proposed modifications to Ireland’s recovery and resilience plan do 
not have a material impact on the previous assessment (rating of A) of the contribution of the plan 
to the digital transition and to the digital target, as reflected in the previous SWD COM(2021) 
205. 

3.7  Lasting impact of the plan 

The  modified  recovery  and  resilience  plan,  including  a  REPowerEU  chapter,  is  expected  to 
continue to have a lasting positive impact on the Irish economy, increasing the ambition of the 
initial plan as concerns especially the green transition. 

The  new  measures  included  in  the  REPowerEU  chapter  are  complementary  to  the  existing 
measures, they are in line with the country-specific recommendations and can be expected to have 
a  lasting  impact  on  the  green  transition  of  Ireland  and  the  economy  overall.  For  instance,  the 
Offshore Renewable Energy Support Scheme (ORESS) and the introduction of a plan-led regime 
in the deployment of offshore wind will ensure a faster and more efficient deployment of offshore 
renewable energy, which will enable deployment of offshore renewables beyond the lifetime of 
the RRF. The increase in biomethane production will reduce demand in fossil fuel in bring long 
term benefits to Ireland’s security of energy supply. The REPowerEU measures are also expected 
to incentivise the reduction of energy demand on the long term by increasing the resilience of the 
public building stock. Investments in energy efficiency interventions in the public building stock 
will also free up excess  resources that can be channelled into ensuring the provision of quality 
public  services,  such  as  education  and  healthcare.  Lastly,  the  REPowerEU  measures  will  also 
contribute  to  provide  for  sustainable  public  transport.  Investments  in  train  battery  charging 
infrastructure  will  allow  the  increased  provision  of  zero-emission  public  transport.  In  the  long 
term, such a measure will contribute towards a modal shift from private transportation towards 
increased usage of public transportation.

The nature and extent of the proposed modifications to Ireland’s recovery and resilience plan do 
not have a material impact on the previous assessment (rating of A) of the lasting impact of the 
measures proposed by Ireland, as reflected in the previous SWD COM(2021) 205.  

3.8  Milestones, targets, monitoring and implementation 

The  milestones  and  targets  of  the  modified  Irish  RRP  enable  an  adequate  monitoring  of  the 
implementation  of  the  plan.  Each  of  the  new  reform  and  investments  introduced  in  the 
REPowerEU chapter includes at least one milestone and/or target outlining the key elements of 
the measure and allowing for the assessment of its achievement. The REPowerEU chapter includes 
13 new milestones and targets. 

The arrangements proposed by Ireland in its modified recovery and resilience plan are expected to 
adequately ensure effective monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan, 
including the envisaged timetable, milestones and targets, and the related indicators. This would 
warrant a rating of A under the assessment criterion 2.8 of Annex V to the RRF Regulation. 

3.9  Costing 

Ireland has provided individual estimated costs for all the new measures in the REPowerEU 
chapter that entail a cost in the recovery and resilience plan. 

The  cost  information  provided  by  Ireland  is  generally  detailed  and  well  substantiated.  Ireland 
provided  detailed  estimates  and  assumptions  on  costs.  Moreover,  Ireland  submitted  separate 
documents  including  more  elaborate  descriptions  of  the  methodology  underlying  the  cost 
calculations. 

The assessment of the cost estimates and inherent supporting information shows that the majority 
of the costs of the new measures are well justified, reasonable, plausible and do not include costs 
covered by existing or planned EU financing and are commensurate to the expected economic and 
social impact of the envisaged measures.  

Reasonable costs 

Overall,  the  assumptions  used  by  Ireland  to  estimate  the  costs  of  the  new  measures  under  the 
REPowerEU chapter provide a reasonable explanation of the key cost drivers of the measures. The 
calculations are generally clearly spelled out allowing to identify the methodology used, even if 
for  a  limited  number  of  measures  the  information  provided  is  more  limited  or  less  clear. 
Nevertheless, there is no evidence that would allow doubting the costing estimates provided.  

The new measures included in the REPowerEU chapter comply with the eligibility criteria set out 
in the RRF Regulation. All costs are incurred for reforms and investments after February 2022 for 
the measures in the REPowerEU chapter. Value-added tax (VAT) is not included in any of the cost 
estimates. 

In this context, the reasonability of the cost estimates, taking into account the new measures in the 
REPowerEU chapter, has been established to a medium extent. 

12 

 
 
 
 
 
Plausible costs  

The amount of the estimated costs of new measures in the REPowerEU chapter is in line with the 
nature and type of the envisaged reforms and investments. For most of these measures, Ireland 
provided supporting documents to substantiate the cost estimates, including explanations of how 
past projects relate to the cost estimates of the new measures. Nevertheless, in a limited number of 
instances the comparability of past projects to the ones proposed in the plan could not fully be 
established, partially due to the novelty of the measure.  

Considering the limitations of an ex-ante assessment of cost estimates, the amounts proposed for 
financing were deemed appropriate and seen as establishing the plausibility of the cost estimates 
to a medium extent. 

No double Union financing 

Ireland has indicated for each individual new measure in the REPowerEU chapter that the costs to 
be financed by the RRF will not be funded at the same time by other Union funding sources. Any 
additional funding will be sourced directly from the national budget.  

Commensurate and cost-efficient costs 

The total cost of the modified Ireland recovery and resilience plan is commensurate to the expected 
social and economic impact of the envisaged measures. The plan is expected to effectively address 
a significant subset of challenges identified in the CSRs. The plan also contains measures that are 
expected to foster economic growth and economic cohesion in an inclusive manner, to boost the 
growth potential of the Irish economy, to stimulate job creation, and to mitigate the adverse effects 
of the crisis. The economic and social impact of the plan in combination with the positive cost 
assessment, indicates that the cost is in line with the principle of cost-efficiency. 

*** 

The justification provided by Ireland on the amount of the estimated total costs of the modified 
recovery and resilience plan is to a medium extent reasonable, plausible, in line with the principle 
of cost-efficiency and is commensurate to the expected national economic and social impact.  

Ireland provided sufficient information and evidence that the amount of the estimated cost of the 
reforms  and investments  of  the modified  recovery and resilience plan  to be financed under the 
Facility is not covered by existing or planned Union financing. 

This would warrant a rating of B under criterion 2.9 of Annex V to the RRF Regulation 

3.10  Controls and audit  

*** 

The nature and extent of the proposed modifications to Ireland’s recovery and resilience plan do 
not have a material impact on the previous assessment (rating of A) of the adequacy of the control 
and audit arrangements proposed by Ireland, as reflected in the previous SWD COM(2021) 205

3.11  Coherence 

The newly added REPowerEU chapter is coherent, with mutually reinforcing or complementary 
measures.  It  shows  thematic  interlinkages  and  synergies  with  the  different  components  of  the 
Resilience  and  Recovery  Plan.  It  reinforces  in  particular  measures  in  the  green  transition 
component  to  further  boost  building  energy  efficiency,  strengthen  sustainable  rail  transport  or 
bolster the deployment of renewable energies.  

*** 

The nature and extent of the proposed modifications to Ireland’s recovery and resilience plan do 
not have a material impact on the previous assessment (rating of A) of the coherence of the actions 
proposed by Ireland, as reflected in the previous SWD COM(2021) 205 

3.12  REPowerEU 

The  implementation  of  the  measures  included  in  the  REPowerEU  chapter  are  expected  to 
contribute notably to the objectives in the following articles of Regulation (EU) 2021/241: 

-  Article 21c (3), points (b) and (e) by increasing the production and uptake of sustainable 
biomethane,  accelerating  the  deployment  and  integration  of  renewable  energy  and 
supporting zero-emission transport and its infrastructure, including railways (Investments 
C4.I1, C4I2 and Reform C4.R1); 

-  Article 21c (3), points (d) by incentivising reduction of energy demand (Investment C4.I3; 

C4.I4 and C4.I5). 

As a result, the measures help reducing reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to increasing energy 
security and diversification of the Union’s energy supply. 

Addressing Energy Poverty 

While none of the measures included in the Irish REPowerEU chapter are directly targeting energy 
poverty  objectives,  several  of  the  measures  will  have  an  indirect  effect  on  energy  prices  and 
reduction  of  energy  demand,  which  indirectly  will  address  some  of  the  underlying  factors 
contributing  to  energy  poverty.  Therefore,  considering  also  the  limited  scope  of  the  Irish 
REPowerEU envelope, the contribution toward addressing energy poverty is assessed as adequate.   

Coherence with other efforts of the Member State 

While none of the measures included in the Irish REPowerEU chapter are scale-ups of existing 
measures  in  the  existing  recovery  and  resilience  plan,  there  are  several  complementarities  and 
synergies, also with broader, national policy efforts.  

The measures included in the REPowerEU chapter will complement the Carbon Tax reform of the 
recovery and resilience plan. The Carbon Tax Reform (Reform 1.9) encourages emission reduction 
by taxing carbon-intensive activities and consumption, providing for a fiscal incentive to decrease 
energy  consumption  among  companies  and  consumers.  Simultaneously,  energy  efficiency 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
measures  (Investment  5.3,  5.4  and  5.5)  directly  support  investments  aimed  at  reducing  energy 
consumption through interventions like insulation of building envelopes and renewal of electrical 
appliances with high energy efficient ones.  

There  are  also  complementarities  with  the  investment  to  scale  up  the  sustainable  biomethane 
industry in Ireland (Investment 5.1). The introduction of carbon pricing associated with the carbon 
tax reform makes fossil fuels and related by-products more expensive, rendering renewables as a 
relatively more attractive investment opportunity. As carbon-intensive energy becomes costlier, 
investments  in  renewables  become  increasingly  economically  viable.  In  this  way,  a  carbon  tax 
sends a clear signal to investors and energy producers. It encourages them to transition away from 
fossil fuels and invest in renewable infrastructure. Therefore, the carbon tax reform also catalyses 
the  impacts  of  the  Offshore  Renewable  Energy  Support  Scheme  (ORESS)  (Reform  C5.R1)  by 
making investments in offshore renewable energy more economically viable.  

Both the national policies of the Energy Poverty Action Plan and the National Hydrogen Strategy 
complement the REPowerEU objectives by addressing energy poverty and promoting sustainable 
energy alternatives. This is further complemented by the National Retrofit Plan, which sets out the 
actions  for  Ireland  to  achieve  its  retrofitting  targets  across  three  areas  (demand  and  activity; 
financing and funding; supply chain, skills and standards) and governance. Lastly, the Green Skills 
for Further Education and Training (FET) Roadmap 2021-2030, launched by SOLAS in July 2022, 
sets out some key areas for the Further Education & Training (FET) sector and responds to the 
future  skills  requirements  of  the  green  economy.  This  builds  on  and  complements  the  existing 
green  skills  action  programme  under  the  SOLAS  Recovery  Skills  Response  Programme 
(Investment 3.2) of the recovery and resilience plan.  

Consultation Process 

For the process of drafting the measures included in the REPowerEU chapter, the Irish authorities 
undertook several public consultations. 

For investment 5.1 (Upscaling a Biomethane Industry in Ireland), development of the investment 
is  a standing  item  on the agenda  for the Biomethane  Working Group, comprising stakeholders 
across the government. Furthermore, as part of the biomethane strategy included in the investment, 
the  Department  of  Food  and  Marine  (DFAM)  contracted  a  consultant  to  perform  stakeholder 
consultations  with  over  60  consultees  across  Ireland.  One  of  the  main  conclusions  from  the 
stakeholder interviews was that there is significant appetite for the development of a Biomethane 
Industry in Ireland, with overwhelming support noted across all stakeholder groupings. 

For investment 5.4 (Expanded School Sector Pathfinder Decarbonisation and Retrofit Programme 
and Energy Profile Inventory of Schools) the authorities undertook several consultations with other 
departments, such as the Department of Public Expenditure and the Sustainable Energy Authority 
of Ireland. The department also undertook several consultations at various levels of engagement 
with the school Patron and Management Bodies, the wider school community and the construction 
and design community. Generally, the feedback received concerns the potential to significantly 

15 

 
 
 
 
 
 
reduce  the  energy  consumption  of  public  schools  as  well  as  refining  the  teaching  and  learning 
environments with a comfortable internal environment.  

For reform 5.6 (Offshore Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (ORESS)), the Department of 
the Environment, Climate and Communications held public consultations in 2022 to gather input 
for the policy statement. The Department held a further public consultation in 2023 on aspects of 
the auctioning design to ensure that the ORESS auctions would be attractive to the offshore wind 
industry.  Each  of  the  Designated  Maritime  Area  Plan  proposal  is  further  subject  to  statutory 
consultation,  including  a public information  period, environmental assessment, and  appropriate 
assessment.  

*** 

Taking  into  consideration  the  assessment  of  all  the  measures  envisaged  in  the  REPowerEU 
chapter, the chapter is expected, to a large extent, to contribute effectively to energy security, the 
diversification of the Union’s energy supply, an increase in the uptake of renewables and in energy 
efficiency, an increase of energy storage capacities or the necessary reduction of dependence on 
fossil fuels before 2030. This would warrant a rating of A under criterion 2.12 of Annex V to the 
RRF Regulation 

3.13  Cross-border or multi-country dimension or effect  

Cross-border  infrastructure  and  multi-country  projects  are  important  for  achieving  the 
REPowerEU  objectives  in  the  medium  term  and  are  encouraged  under  REPowerEU.  Member 
States must include in their REPowerEU chapters measures with a cross-border or multi-country 
dimension or effect for an amount representing 30% of their REPowerEU chapter. On the basis of 
the  methodology  for  cross-border  or  multi-country  dimensions  or  effects,  as  laid  down  in 
Regulations  (EU)  2021/241  as  amended  by  (EU)  2023/435,  the  Irish  REPowerEU  chapter 
contributes to the target in 98% of the REPowerEU chapter estimated costs. 

Investment 5.1 (Upscaling a Sustainable Biomethane Industry) provides cross-border benefits in 
various dimensions. By expanding the capacity for renewable energy sources domestically, Ireland 
will  become  less  reliant  on  imported  energy  and  fossil  fuels.  This  diversification  therefore 
contributes towards the wider benefits of the Union by reducing vulnerabilities of the Irish energy 
system  to  supply  disruptions  and  geopolitical  tensions.  Increasing  the  production  of  energy 
domestically will free up transmission capacity which enables a better  flow of energy between 
Member States. This leads to overall cost savings, enhancing grid stability and reliability. Lastly, 
increasing the share of renewables in Ireland will contribute towards the climate objectives. This 
alignment supports Ireland in reaching the targets of the European Green deal, for the benefit of 
all Member States.  

Investment  5.2  (Drogheda  charging  infrastructure)  provides  cross-border  benefits  in  various 
dimensions. First, the introduction of battery electric multiple units will reduce the dependency of 
the  transport  sector  on  fossil  fuels.  Considering  the  revised  trans-European  transport  network 
(TEN-T) Regulation, the charging facility in Drogheda will decarbonise a portion of Ireland’s Core 
Network between Dublin and Drogheda, considered a vital route for cross-European transport. It 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
therefore responds to the need to increase connectivity across Europe to foster the resilience of the 
transport system and shift more passengers and freight to sustainable modes of transport through 
the provision of sustainable urban mobility. The charging facility in Drogheda will decarbonise a 
portion of Ireland’s Core Network between Dublin and Drogheda.  

Investment 5.3 (HSE Pilot Energy & Decarbonisation Pathfinder) and Investment 5.4 (Expanded 
School Sector Pathfinder Decarbonisation and Retrofit Programme and Energy Profile Inventory 
of Schools) will support energy efficiency and decarbonisation in the health and school sectors. 
This  will  contribute  to  reducing  greenhouse  gas  emissions  and  lowering  energy  consumption, 
which  reduces  the  impact  on  the  climate  and  the  environment,  reduces  the  cost  of  the  green 
transition,  reduces  vulnerability  to  fluctuations  in  energy  prices  and  increases  the  security  of 
supply. The same logic applies to Investment 5.5 (Retrofit of No. 6 Ely Place)
