Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Electricity Sector

Mr. Cathal Marley:

I will take the question on hybrid generation. The main focus we would like to see is on renewables and batteries coming together. We are looking at solar and, to come to Senator Higgins's point, if other want to connect fossil fuel behind this, then ideally from EirGrid's perspective we would want all new fossil fuel generation being renewable fuel ready. This would give us security of supply and would meet our future needs.
