Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities

2:00 am

Dr. Tanya Harrington:

I thank Deputy Cronin for the question. There is no moratorium. The 2021 decision does not place a moratorium. The revised minded-to decision places additional demands and constraints on data centre entry. This is what we are working to finalise and we are doing so taking on board all of the feedback we had from the 86 respondents to the consultation. We are very conscious of the issues raised by Deputy Cronin, and of the concerns expressed about system operators. This is why we are holding a half-day meeting with them on 17 October.
