Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Future Licences and Contracts to Connect Data Centres to the Gas Network: Discussion

Mr. Jim Gannon:

I am happy to take that question. The DCCOPP would have referred specifically to electricity connection. We can have refresh the figures we previously provided on electricity group connections and put them against that pathway. We have data on the electricity connections against when the 2021 policy change came in, so we should be able to track back to 2018 on the electricity side. On the gas side, we have a breakdown of the figures, which we can provide to the Deputy if that is helpful. We can note when they came in, if I can put it that way; how many and when the connection applications came in. I am not sure we have all those data but I can provide what we have. Separately, we can provide information on what is in process. The DCCOPP and the 2021 policy change would have related to the electricity connection as distinct from the gas connection.
