What this bill does AI · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
- Amends Electricity Regulation Act 1999 to allow the Commission for Regulation of Utilities to require connection applicants to take climate measures: emissions reduction, offsetting, or abatement.
- CRU can set different climate conditions for different applicant classes; applies only to connections with maximum capacity of 150kVA or above.
- Fills legal gap allowing CRU to mandate specific emissions measures (e.g. renewable energy use) as connection terms, supporting Ireland's climate neutrality target by 2050.
