New Economy and Recovery Authority

In September 2011 the Government announced the establishment of the New Economy and Recovery Authority (NewERA), initially on a non-statutory basis, within the NTMA. The core roles of NewERA will centre around the oversight of the commercial State sector in Ireland including, where requested, advising on the disposal or restructuring of State assets and ensuring that Government plans for investment in energy, broadband and water are implemented within the sector. It will have a wide corporate governance role encompassing oversight of financial performance, corporate strategy, capital and investment plans and will act as a Shareholder Executive managing State assets from a portfolio perspective.

The main functions of NewERA are as follows:

  • corporate governance from a shareholder perspective of the following commercial State companies: ESB, Bord Gáis, EirGrid, Bord na Móna, Coillte;
  • working with Departments to develop and implement proposals for investment in line with NewERA Programme for Government commitments in energy, water and next- generation telecommunications;
  • working with the NPRF to bring forward proposals for investment of available resources in the NewERA initiative;
  • working with the NPRF to develop a Strategic Investment Fund;
  • reviewing capital investment plans of these commercial State companies from a shareholder perspective;
  • identifying possible synergies between investment programmes of different commercial State companies; and
  • where requested by Government, advising on, and if appropriate overseeing, any restructuring or disposal of commercial State company assets
