CRU Ignoring Climate Goals on Gas | Ireland News

Ireland’s environmental watchdog FIE is sounding the alarm over the Commission for the Regulator of Utilities, accusing it of greenwashing by approving a massive fossil gas expansion without serious climate impact analysis. With 17 new industrial gas customers lined up — seven still unapproved — the CRU ignored critical questions: emissions projections, carbon budget compliance, and alternatives to gas-heavy growth. FIE’s director Tony Lowes insists the regulator must align decisions with Ireland’s Climate Action Plan, warning against siloed thinking that ignores cumulative climate damage. The group demands the CRU pause final decisions until full transparency on assumptions, emissions, budget impacts, and viable alternatives is provided.
