Abstract

The new Northern Ireland Energy Strategy was published in December 2021 with the primary objective to be net-zero carbon by 2050, and an intermediate target of a 56% reduction in energy related emissions by 2030. The plan sets out a non-exhaustive list of 22 actions to be carried out by the central government, such actions include funding a £10m Green Innovation Challenge and publish an Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure action plan. A key element of the Energy Strategy is the Energy Evidence Programme. The evidence programme aims to produce additional evidence to support policy development and identifies a set of key research areas and principles.
