Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Carbon Budget: Climate Change Advisory Council

2:00 am

Ms Marie Donnelly:

This is an issue, as the Deputy can imagine, that the council has discussed at great length. We have a very clear view - we have published this as our position - that because they are large energy users, data centres coming on stream should already have a corporate power purchase agreement in place and be energised to the value of the energy that they are going to use in order not to displace renewable energy coming onto the system.
