Residual – other measures
Residual bundle affecting the Electricity sector, using a mixed (residual) mechanism; in force since 2019.
About this policy
Summary row for 2 other eligible Electricity measures that did not enter the core set individually. Its intensity is the average of the members' own intensity values; the members are listed below.
About this type of instrument: residual bundles (mixed mechanisms)
Retaining smaller measures as a residual keeps every eligible policy represented without inflating the core set.
- Complete coverage of eligible measures
- Transparent member lists
- Heterogeneous content
- The bundle's mean is not comparable with a single instrument
Measurement in this dataset. Intensity is the mean of the members' intensities. If any member is missing, the bundle value is missing too. Members must not be counted in addition to the bundle.
Year by year
Filled markers use a matched OECD score; hollow markers use assumed timing. Shaded bands show the policy's status. Select a year on the chart or the slider to see how its intensity is built up.
Measures in this residual bundle
The bundle's intensity is the average of these members' intensities. Do not also count the members separately.
| Measure | Mechanism | Active | Coverage | Bindingness | Intensity 2023 | Reported kt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solar Pilot Scheme IRL_P0057 | Subsidies & finance | 2019– | 0.10 | 0.50 | 0.050 | 47 |
| Non-Domestic Microgen Scheme IRL_P0085 | Subsidies & finance | 2022– | 0.25 | 0.50 | 0.062 | 7 |

Data-quality notes
Methodological notes recorded for this series, grouped by theme.
Timing assumptions
- Implementation in some years follows an assumed ramp-up because no matching OECD score is available.
- The policy has no reported end date; its status after the reporting date is reconstructed as continuing.
Selection context
- A multi-sector reported saving was assigned once, to the primary sector, for ranking only.
- Policies were selected using recent (2024–2030) assessments, which can introduce retrospective selection bias.
Scoring conventions
- The unweighted equal-weight index remains positive before the policy starts; use the gated version for timing analysis.
- Bindingness is a normative score from the study rubric, not a measure of observed compliance.
- Coverage is an ordinal scope score, not a measured share of activity or emissions.
Aggregation warnings
- The residual bundle combines several mechanisms.
- The bundle's intensity is not the product of its mean components.
- The bundle's intensity is the mean over a fixed member list; any missing member makes it missing.
