Description : Consultancy Services are being sought by the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment to assist in the production of guidance relating to both mitigation and compensatory measures for renewable energy projects, and all associated electricity transmission connections and enabling infrastructure, in order to support the State’s compliance with the revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED III).
