Strategic Gas Emergency Reserve (FSRU)

In March 2025, Ireland approved a state-led strategic gas emergency reserve to strengthen energy security and ensure compliance with the EU N-1 infrastructure standard. The reserve will be delivered as a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), owned and operated by Gas Networks Ireland on behalf of the State. It is designed as a non-commercial, emergency-only facility, activated during supply disruptions, and explicitly defined as a temporary transitional measure to avoid fossil fuel lock-in while Ireland expands renewable energy and reduces import dependence.
