Irish Govt Approves Renewable Heating Fuel Mandate
The Irish government has approved a bill requiring suppliers of fuel for heating to provide a proportion of renewable energy, with the new blend scheme set to start next year.
The government will now need to legislate on the target levels for the first years of the scheme; those are planned at 1.5% renewable energy in the first year from 2026 to 2027 and 3% in the second phase of the scheme running from 2027 to 2028.
