Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications
Chapter 9 - Remediation of Landfill Sites

9:30 am

Mr. Mark Griffin:

I do not believe there will. On the burning of fossil fuels, the greatest impact will be on our CO2 emissions reduction targets for 2030, which is a 51% reduction. It will not affect the issue of statistical transfers. Moneypoint and Tarbert have been on the system in recent months as a function of reduced wind levels, the like of which we have not seen since 1961. We have the lowest level of wind in this part of Europe since then but it will not impact on the statistical transfers.
