- Expert-Led Workshops: Establish ongoing training sessions where international and local reporting experts share insights, trends, and best practices.
Scope Definition
- Holistic Energy Portfolio Analyses: Partner with academic and industry experts to get a granular understanding of Ireland’s renewable energy landscape, factoring in local strengths and limitations.
- Multi-Stakeholder Deliberations: Convene roundtables with policymakers, energy experts, and investors, jointly carving out a strategic vision for sustainable investments.
