About Ireland

As a member of the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) since 2018, Ireland is committed to phasing out coal power and switching to cleaner energy sources by 2025. Moneypoint power station is a 915 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in Munster, and it is Ireland's largest electricity generation station and only coal-fired power station. In 2019, the government launched its climate action plan, which included a commitment to end the burning of coal at Moneypoint by 2025.
