Ireland retains its reputation as a climate action leader

Ireland has been consistent in its commitment to promoting greater use of renewable energy, a report by EY shows

Ireland has climbed four places and is now ranked 19th in terms of renewable electricity via Corporate Power Purchase Agreements in the EY Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index.

Ireland has maintained its standing in the latest edition of the EY Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index, remaining in 13th position overall at a time when global investment in renewable energy is soaring as governments eye domestically produced, low-cost, low-carbon energy in a bid to reduce their dependence on imports. 

The index is EY’s biannual flagship global renewables report, now in its 61st edition, and which ranks the world’s top 40 markets based on the attractiveness of their investment in renewable energy and deployment opportunities.
