Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities
Mr. John Melvin:
That would be a difficult and complex piece to do. I am not able to promise that we could do it but we can take it away and think about it. As Mr. Gannon said, we might be able to see capacity and networks. However, if someone uses an existing wire and does not cause a new wire to be built, that is a benefit. If someone uses a wire that is here but causes a wire there, is that a net benefit or the opposite? It quickly becomes very complex to attribute costs.
