A number of Government ministers are travelling to the midlands to discuss plans to close two power stations in the region.
Last week, the ESB said it will shut the West Offaly and Lough Ree power plants at the end of 2020.
It had submitted an application to An Bord Pleanála last year, seeking planning permission to transition the West Offaly plant from peat to biomass over a number of years - starting in 2020.
This planning application was rejected in July of this year.
Environment Minister Richard Bruton will be joined by Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe, Culture Minister Josepha Madigan and Minister of State Kevin 'Boxer' Moran.
The trip will begin with Minister Bruton taking a tour of a rehabilitated bog.
In a statement, his department says: "The Government have committed to a significant programme of bog rehabilitation as part of plans to secure a just transition for the midlands.
The ministers will then meet with workers affected from both Bord na Móna and ESB.
Minister Bruton will also meet with union representatives and Oireachtas members.
Ahead of the visit, Mr Bruton said: "Just transition is at the heart of the Government's Climate Action Plan.
"We are here today to listen to those affected and to see first-hand the new, sustainable opportunities that the transition to a low carbon economy will open up."
The Government has prioritised just transition in Budget 2020, which included a number of measures.
Among them, the ESB has agreed to contribute €5m to the fund increasing its total value to €11m.
This funding will support retraining and reskilling workers and assist local communities and businesses in the midlands to adjust to the low carbon transition.
Some €5m will also be available for bog restoration and rehabilitation, which will restore protected raised bogs - including Bord na Móna bogs - to their natural habitat.
The Government says this programme will support the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) to restore 1,800 hectares of bog in seven counties and create 100 jobs.
Minister Bruton last week also announced that the Government has been engaging with the European Commission to put in place an extensive Bord na Móna bog rehabilitation programme, funded through a re-purposed Public Service Obligation.
He also appointed Kieran Mulvey as the first Just Transition Commissioner.
Minister Donohoe says: "The Government acknowledges the extent and impact of last Friday's news on the communities affected.
"Now is the time to redouble our efforts to ensure that new business is generated to replace the jobs that will be lost and to prepare the workforce for the opportunities that lie ahead.
"Government will support the midland communities who will be affected by the low carbon transition at every step of this journey.
"Climate change is without doubt the defining challenge of our generation.
"Meeting this challenge will be impossible without difficult decisions and trade-offs but we will do it with the supports in place to ensure a Just Transition to a safer, cleaner and more environmentally conscious future".
