As part of the development of the Northern Ireland government’s future energy strategy, the
University of Exeter Energy Policy Group was grant funded to produce a think-piece on current
energy governance in Northern Ireland (NI) and how this governance connects to wider UK and
Republic of Ireland energy governance. We were also asked to investigate how the current
governance structure should change in order to support the energy transition and to ensure NI
contributes to the UK wide net-zero target.
To develop this paper, we combined our insights around UK energy policy and governance with
original research. We used desk based research to produce a detailed map of current energy
governance in NI and then used interviews carried out during early summer 2020 with civil servants
and staff at relevant public sector bodies to uncover perceived issues with existing energy
governance and to consider ways forward.
