Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Offshore Wind Energy Strategy: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment
Mr. Gary Tobin:
Yes. This is also the case in relation to solar energy, not just wind. I am not an engineer, as the committee may have guessed. My understanding is that there may still be a requirement for some kind of grid connection, in extreme circumstances. However, by and large, these large-scale energy users may not really need to use the grid and could use private wires.
