Recording and Slides from Clean Energy Package - Review and Risk Assessment

The EU Clean energy package sets the energy and climate ambitions for the 2030 horizon, and the regulatory framework to achieve these ambitions.

Two articles of one of the legislative acts have already been identified as being particularly important to wind energy in Ireland.

This half day training course by Cornwall Insight will look at the roll-out of this package across the EU and exploring the impacts of the new legislation on the Irish energy market, particularly wind energy.

• Understanding of the overarching EU Governance and renewable targets i.e. the drivers behind the Clean Energy Package (CEP)
• Understand the Clean Energy Package (CEP) legislation and the potential impacts on the Irish wind industry
• Identify areas of policy that will need to be amended (i.e. upcoming consultations)
• Explore potential changes to the regulatory landscape in Ireland

• EU Governance, the European Green Deal and the Renewable Directive
• The Clean Energy Package (CEP) legislation explained
• National Energy and Climate Plans
• Impact of the CEP on national policy and regulation (explore the SEMC and CRU roadmap)
• Potential impact of the CEP on the Irish wind industry e.g. priority dispatch, redispatch, permit granting process
• Identification of areas for further clarification and engagement
