My Department is progressing the design of the proposed new Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (RESS) which is being developed to assist Ireland in meeting its renewable energy contributions out to 2030.

A final high-level design proposal on the RESS is being brought to Government shortly for approval, and subsequent to this a formal application for State Aid clearance with the European Commission will commence in line with EU State Aid Guidelines. The new scheme is expected to open in 2019.
