State-fund electricity grid expansion to cut bills

What this means

• Fianna Fáil made this promise in its November 2024 general election manifesto, so it is a party commitment and not yet law or policy.[source]
• The plan is to switch the national electricity grid to direct State funding instead of the current funding model, which adds costs to household and business bills.[source]
• The Renewable Electricity Support Scheme would also move to direct State funding under this commitment, reducing charges passed on to electricity customers.[source]
• The goal is to bring Irish electricity prices closer to the European average, which matters because Ireland currently has some of the highest electricity costs in the EU.[source]
• No delivery date was set for this commitment, making it harder for the public to hold the party to account on timing.[source]
