The Irish Government has set a target to add an additional up to 4.5 gigawatts of new renewable electricity capacity by 2030, according to ReNews.
The new Renewable Electricity Support System (RESS) will support the build-out, which will more than double the current level of green power on the grid, dominated by approximately 3.3 gigawatts of operational onshore wind.
A final RESS is due to be confirmed later this year with draft proposals in 2017 designed around a technology-neutral auction-based model.
