Complementary Information
ESB’s main advocacy vehicle in the EU is through the representative bodies listed under "Membership & Affiliates" rather than directly through ESB staff, which is reflected in the low FTE level.

Other financial info
REALISE CCUS is an ambitious three-year project to support decarbonisation of oil refining through carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), a critical technology in the net-zero transition. It brings together partners from science and industry in Europe, China and South Korea to demonstrate the full CCUS chain – from CO2 capture, transport and geological storage to CO2 reuse – for industrial clusters centred on refineries.
+CityxChange are developing feasible and realistic demonstration projects in climate-friendly and sustainable urban environments. ESB and ESB Networks DAC are two of the 32 partners for the +CityxChange initiative in Ireland

Communication activities
ESB representatives meet Members of the European Parliament, Commissioners and members of their cabinet and Director Generals from time to time, which, in addition to an occasional submission in relation to a public consultation is the main driver for our registration. ESB are not currently taking part in the work of any of the EU structures and bodies.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
