Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion
Mr. Mark Foley:
It is really important. I am glad Deputy Devlin asked the question. The demand issue and the issue around generation are not connected to any great extent. Ireland encountered a problem around generation capacity because the market had failed. Whether we had a data centre policy or not, we declared a crisis in 2021 because the auction had failed to deliver generation capacity.
