Mr. Cillian O'Donoghue:

On what we can do, I will speak from an Irish perspective, not a European one. While my answer will involve a bit of repetition, there are three steps we can take. The first, and most important, is to speed up the permitting for renewables, particularly offshore wind energy. There is a 7 GW target for 2030, so the permitting process needs to be speeded up in that regard. Second, it is important to have a clear storage strategy. If we are going all out or heavy on wind, we must determine the balancer. Is it natural gas, hydrogen or batteries? Third, I would encourage the reduction of demand this winter via behavioural campaigns aimed at citizens. These are the three things that should be prioritised in the medium term.
