REDI established a mandatory minimum target for the share of renewable energy sources in transport (REST) by 2020: 10% of all petrol, diesel, biofuels and electricity consumed in road and rail transport. Ireland exceeded this target reaching 10.2% RES-T in 2020.

READ MORERenewable energy technologies are expected to take the leading role in the forthcoming energy generation portfolio in order to achieve sustainable energy generation. The major constraints for increasing penetration of renewable energy sources is their availability and intermittency, which can be addressed through energy storage when
READ MOREIn most countries, the incorporation of increasing amounts of renewable energy has become an energy policy priority resulting in TSOs working to increase VRE penetration or SNSP limits [9]. By way of example, the SNSP limit in Ireland in 2020, was 65%, rising to 75% in 2021 with strategies in place to meet a 95% target by 2030 [7].
READ MOREThe United States'' Inflation Reduction Act drives a 20% increase in our biojet and renewable diesel forecast.

The first step towards a 100% renewable energy-system for Ireland. Appl.
READ MOREThe policies implemented to enable and accelerate the energy transition have impacted most sectors of the EU economies, directly or indirectly. The present study focuses on the impact of the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) in the energy mix as well as the energy market deregulation on the retail electricity prices for households.

Last year, solar and wind combined made up 8.7% of global electricity generation, compared to 1.7% in 2010. Prediction models often assume that the growth of solar and wind will be linear; however, evidence shows
READ MORENorthern Ireland''s success in reaching penetration levels of 47 per cent (40 per cent target) of electricity consumption coming from renewables is due largely to onshore wind generation. Recognisably, a driving force behind the increase in renewable generation from onshore wind was the Northern Ireland Renewables Obligation (NIRO),
READ MORETo achieve the decarbonisation of the electricity sector, a significant amount of renewable energy sources (RES) generation capacity is required to replace the phased-out fossil base load capacities. This process involves electrifying other energy sectors (e.g. transport), which will further increase the electricity demand to be covered by RES.
READ MORESince 2002, the penetration of non-hydro renewables in supply have increased from only 2 percent to 22 percent in 2012. The bulk of generation from new renewables, as in Portugal, is from wind energy. In 2011, wind energy contributed more than 15 percent of supply; solar more than 3 percent; and biomass nearly 2 percent.
