Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
EirGrid: Discussion with Chairman Designate
11:40 am
Mr. John O'Connor:
No, I do not really have enough knowledge on it at this stage. I am aware that this country is committed, under EU directives, to ensure 40% of electricity is generated from renewable sources by 2020. The achievement of that target by this country is mandatory. The strengthening of the grid system will be required if it is to be achieved.
