Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy
Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities

Dr. Tanya Harrington:
At the moment, the decision that stands is the 2021 decision. The decision we are working on is an evolution of that. We have a draft decision published since February. What that does is it sets out a connection policy and the terms and conditions for that, cognisant of the ambition that is being set out by the State. Ireland has very ambitious offshore renewable energy targets. When that regime and infrastructure - the grid and generating capacity infrastructure that is built in the ocean - is there, there will be a significant uplift in renewable generation capacity. It is about how we navigate between today and that period when that infrastructure is in place. I hope that answers the Deputy's question.
