Ireland is undertaking a large-scale transformation of its energy system, moving from fossil fuels to largely renewable sources to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

There are challenges in delivering a just transition and there are new risks to energy reliability, highlighted by extreme weather events. In this report, NESC recognises that this transition must be just, ensuring equitable distribution of costs and benefits while protecting vulnerable groups. Adopting a societal lens is crucial for understanding how households are connected to the energy system and strengthening this connection for successful implementation.
