Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Energy Supply and Security: Discussion

Mr. Mark Foley:

The shortfall in generation capacity makes that job more difficult. It is very important - hence the procurement of a temporary emergency generator - to give us a buffer in order that we can take a plant out, take lines out and get the transmission programme. We took a hit from Covid. There were two years where work was highly constrained. We have a backlog but one of the most important programmes we are working on with ESB and the market is to get slots and get the job done.
