Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities

2:00 am

Dr. Tanya Harrington:

The solution set going forward is to diversify our fuel mix and bring more renewables onto the system. At CRU and with SEMC, we are actively working to do that through the regulatory framework and also to enhance our physical interconnection to Great Britain and mainland Europe. There are new interconnectors planned for both jurisdictions. Bringing on more and more system services that assist the grid to operate efficiently, along with the large-scale investment that has been committed to and has been finalised in terms of Price Review 6 will all help. Obviously, demand response, which is making sure that people understand where to be efficient with their energy use, will help. All of that, in the round, will get us to a place that is energy-secure and green.
