Welcome to the Energy Policy and Modelling Research Group

EPMG Team

At the forefront of researching the future of Ireland's energy system, the EPMG is dedicated to applying energy systems modelling and our expertise in the energy transition to advance the evidence base for the sustainable energy transition in Ireland and beyond.

Our interdisciplinary research explores possible low-carbon energy futures and the role that technologies, demand, society and policy play in bringing these about.

Our group develops a suite of energy systems modelling tools focussing on different aspects of the energy system, which map how sustainable energy solutions could evolve in response to policies and other drivers.

We engage extensively across society to improve the public’s understanding of the role of the energy system in driving climate change, energy security and the economy, and through our research and engagement we seek to help address the multiple challenges facing society through the lens of energy.

Vacancies

We currently have no vacancies.
