A Draft Risk Preparedness Plan for Ireland

Read the consultation.

Regulation (EU) 2019/941 requires Member States to update their national electricity crisis scenarios, which are the basis of the Risk Preparedness Plan (RPP), every four years, unless circumstances requires more frequent updates. The revised final version of the first RPP was published by CRU in May 2023. We are now in the second cycle of the RPP, and the development of an updated draft has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of the Regulation.

The Risk Preparedness Regulation (RPR, EU 2019/941) sets out a requirement for Member States to develop transparent risk-preparedness plans to prevent, prepare for and manage electricity crises, indicating the agreed coordination and cooperation within regions and between Member States.

The purpose of this paper is to present the draft plan for comment to the relevant organisations referred to in Article 10(1), as well as any other interested parties. Any comments received will be considered for the preparation of the final RPP which is scheduled for publication in January 2026.

Responses should be submitted via the consultation platform by the close of business on 11 September 2025.
