Energy Ireland Conference 2021

Event Description

Now in its 25^th year, Energy Ireland Conference continues to be the major annual event on the Irish energy calendar, attracting influential delegates from across the sector.

In Ireland and beyond, 2021 represents a decisive moment in the transition to a net zero carbon future. Legislating for a total reduction of 51 per cent of emissions by 2030 and a national objective of climate neutrality “no later than 2050”, the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021 will establish a legal framework for Ireland to meet these targets, as well as its European and international commitments and obligations. Given the scale of the ambition to 2030 and beyond, this year’s conference will consider how the energy sector must respond; transforming how we generate and consume energy to deliver the transition.
