Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Regulation of Gas Industry: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Garrett Blaney:

When there is no congestion in the system, the cheapest cost generators on the system can be run. When there is congestion in the electricity network, generators that are more expensive than those that would otherwise have been run have to be used. The €30 million is, in effect, the extra cost of those more expensive generators, by comparison with what was necessary.
