COUNTRY SUMMARY
How should the energy profile of Ireland be read?
This profile brings together indicators that measure different things. Reading them together helps avoid confusing prices, dependency, generation and renewable shares.
The electricity price for band DC is 0.4042 €/kWh (H2 2025).
The gas price for band D2 is 0.1300 €/kWh (H2 2025).
Energy dependency is 79.5 %: this share indicates the proportion of energy needs covered by net imports.
The overall renewable share is 17.2 %, +9.0 pt below the EU-27.
Periods can differ between indicators because each Eurostat dataset has its own publication calendar. EnergyBoard therefore displays the latest available value for each series.
