Ireland failed to apply for European funding to secure energy continuity

The funding programme was established in March 2022 with a view to explorations of renewable energy sources.

Ireland is one of just two nations that have failed to apply for a key European Commission funding initiative aimed at ensuring continuity of energy supply in the wake of the Russia/Ukraine war.

The REPowerEU programme was established in March 2022 with a view to funding explorations of renewable energy sources and bolstering the European Union’s energy supply chains following Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
