The European Union has announced ambitious targets for offshore renewable energy capacity, aiming for 360 GW by 2050. ACER is actively involved in regulatory work, proposing amendments for hydrogen, decarbonised gas, and electricity market reform. The focus on decarbonisation is evident in EU Energy Ministers' approval of geothermal energy promotion and strategies for heating and cooling. Additionally, efforts are underway to address carbon emissions with mechanisms like the Carbon Border Adjustment and Certification. The article also touches upon investment initiatives such as the Innovation Fund. Ireland's participation in these developments is highlighted, with room for increased representation in funding allocation according to the Innovation Fund report.
