1. Renewable Energy Action Plan Martin Finucane DCENR

2. Renewable Directive  Published in June 2009  Requirement for National renewable energy action plan  Due by 30 June 2010

3. EU position  Combined Climate Change and Energy Package  Renewable energy target 20% of EU energy consumption from renewable sources  Different targets for each Member State  Ireland has target of 16%

4. Target Assessment  Forecast Gross Final Energy Consumption from 2010 to 2020  Allow for Energy Efficiency measures  Break into Electricity, Heating/Cooling and Transport Sectors  Transport target minimum of 10%  Flexibility mechanisms joint projects or statistical transfer

5. Current Position (1)  Electricity - 2004 4.0 % of consumption - 2004 4.0 % of consumption 2009 14.4% of consumption 2009 14.4% of consumption 2010 target 15.0% of consumption 2010 target 15.0% of consumption 2020 target 40.0% of consumption 2020 target 40.0% of consumption

6. Current Position (2)  Transport 2004 nil 2004 nil 2009 1.50% 2009 1.50% 2010 target 3.00% 2010 target 3.00% 2020 target 10.0% 2020 target 10.0%

7. Current Position (3)  Heat 2004 3.6% of consumption 2004 3.6% of consumption 2009 3.9% of consumption 2009 3.9% of consumption 2010 target 5.0% of consumption 2010 target 5.0% of consumption 2020 target 12.0% of consumption 2020 target 12.0% of consumption

8. Contributions to targets 2009 Contributions to GFC RES-E2.7% RES-T0.6% RES-H1.5%

9. 2020 Targets effect  Electricity (40%) ~ 9% of energy  Heat (12%) ~ 4% of energy  Transport (10%) ~ 4% of energy

11. Measures to achieve target  Measure and Legal Reference  Measure description and expected result  Existing already or Planned  Start and End Dates for each Scheme  Regulatory, Financial or Information

12. Specific Measures required (1)  Administrative Procedures and Spatial Planning  Technical Specifications  Buildings  Information Provisions  Installer Certifications  Electricity Infrastructure Development

13. Specific Measures required (2)  Electricity network operation  Biogas integration  District Heating and Cooling infrastructure  Biofuels Sustainability criteria

14. Support Measures  Electricity Support schemes Fiscal support Measures including investment and operational aidFiscal support Measures including investment and operational aid Regulatory Support MeasuresRegulatory Support Measures  Description with legal reference, details of scheme, duration, past impact assessment and expected future results

15. Biomass Promotion  Biomass availability – domestic and import  Forestry resource assessment  Agriculture resource assessment  Waste resource assessment  Agricultural land dedicated to energy production in 2007  Measures to increase Biomass Availability

16. Cooperation Measures  Statistical Transfers between Member States  Joint projects with Member States or third countries  Joint support schemes  Estimated excess/deficit renewable energy compared to indicative trajectory

17.  Plan being drafted by Renewable Energy Division in conjunction with relevant State Bodies
