Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Michael Goodwin:

On the energy mix, we have been assured by EirGrid that the closure of the plants will not impact on the stability of the grid and that it can be operated without them. The removal of peat from the energy mix will reduce it, but the use of peat in electricity generation was coming to an end anyway in light of climate change.
