Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Energy Supply and Security: Discussion
Dr. Liam Ryan:
We update the generation capacity statement on an annual basis with updated policies and new regulations. Every year we produce that and we engage with the various stakeholders to ensure everybody understands what is involved. One of the key items is that the GCS clearly called out the issues. One of the key issues we are facing is that the generator or generators that were due to connect did not materialise. Hence we have the issue we are seeing now materialising and the GCS is predicting out for the next ten years. We must take action now to secure us for the next ten years as well. It is key that what we do now secures us for the next ten years as well.
