The capital investment priorities will represent a major change in Ireland’s delivery of climate action objectives. This will provide a big reduction in carbon emissions during the period to 2030.
Investment priorities will include:
Among the major infrastructural projects over the next 10 years will be the North-South and Celtic interconnectors, the conversion of Moneypoint to electricity and continued development of gas infrastructure to support regional and rural development.
A €500 million Climate Action Fund will bring further investment by public and private bodies, with a strong focus on the transport sector. There will also be further investment in flood relief schemes to minimise the impact of river and coastal flooding.
See National Strategic Outcome 8 of the National Development Plan 2018-2027 for full details.
