Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities

Dr. Paul McGowan:

I do not have the gas demand projections. That information would come from Gas Networks Ireland in its forecast statement. The fact that 80% of electricity will be produced from renewables means that the prevalence of fossil fuels in our energy mix will fall. Coupled with the fact that we have sectoral emission ceilings that we must comply with, this means that the overall level of fossil fuels in our electricity mix will have to reduce.
