EU Just Transition Fund (JTF) is designed to target areas that are most negatively affected by the transition towards climate neutrality.
Several evidence-based assessments have identified certain counties and municipal districts in the wider Midlands as being the most negatively affected in Ireland by the closure of peat-reliant power stations. This will therefore be the target area of the EU JTF.
This territorial designation was approved at Government level on the basis of:
- A county-level analysis supported through the Structural Reform Support
- Programme of the European Commission
- The reports and recommendations of the Just Transition Commissioner
- The coverage of the National Just Transition Fund
- A sub-county analysis commissioned by Government
These reports can be found on this www.gov.ie page.
The EU JTF territory will consist of:
The full counties of Laois, Westmeath, Offaly, Longford and Roscommon and the municipal districts of Ballinasloe in Galway, Carrick-on-Suir and Thurles in Tipperary, and Athy and Clane in Kildare are covered by the fund.
