The Energy Master Plan

•Identifies the baselineAll th tti f t t

Identify ?•Allows the setting of targets•Facilitates planning & scenario assessmentscenario assessment•Allows the review of progress to those targets.

The Energy Master Plan

• Energy supply planning has become complex.• Decisions are long term• It is not a case of “one solution fits all”• It is not a case of one solution fits all• The SEAI Energy Master Plan initiates the process

and provides a structured approach.And this pro ides Planners ith q alit objecti e• And this provides Planners with quality objective data so that energy considerations can be integrated into broader long term planning decisions and strategystrategy.
