Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Implementation of National Mitigation Plan: Discussion

3:00 pm

Mr. Eamonn Confrey:

In response to Senator McDowell, I will close off on the data centres point. I mentioned earlier all the work and the analysis in terms of the Departments and agencies that have been around the table. Colleagues in the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation will shortly be bringing a policy statement on data centres to Government for its approval. It will try to balance those arguments in terms of the opportunities but also the challenges. For our part, on the energy side of the equation, we are definitely articulating and working on the analysis from EirGrid in terms of what it will mean for electricity demand.
