Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Electricity Sector

2:00 am

Dr. Liam Ryan:

We have done a number of things. Over the past number of years, we did Shaping Our Electricity Future, which was a vision of the power system meeting the Government's climate action plans out to 2030. Part of that was looking at the 5 GW of offshore energy and also looking at all the onshore commitments that were needed to get us towards the Government targets. With respect to those, under PR6, we have submitted the funding requirements. The CRU is currently consulting on that matter. I expect it will opine on the matter later this year to deliver on the targets that we have. To answer the Deputy's question, we are planning to deliver the grid, both onshore and offshore, to meet the targets that are set down.
