The Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment (DCEE) asked CEPA to carry out an updated analysis of security of energy supply in Ireland beyond 2030, to support the Government’s decision on the Energy Security Package. This builds on CEPA’s previous technical analysis of the security of supply of Ireland’s electricity and natural gas systems, published in September 2022, which covered the period up to 2030.

• The updated study analyses:
• Ireland’s ability to meet the N-1 infrastructure standard for gas in 2035 and 2040.
• The impact of gas import disruption scenarios on the ability of the system to meet energy
• The ability of potential mitigation options to address the identified shortfall in energy supplies.
