Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

ESB: Chairperson Designate

9:30 am

Ms Ellvena Graham:

We definitely are engaging in the west of Ireland in particular. We are looking at waves and tidal energy and we are investing in those. The only thing I would say is that it is a long-term rather than a short-term play.

The earliest one will see anything there could be the next decade rather than the next year. We are investing in it and we are trialling and testing it. Those things take a long time to come to fruition. However, we are investing in it and we are interested in it. If it works it will be very good because we have plenty of water around us.
