Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

Electricity Generation and Export: Discussion

6:35 pm

Mr. Kevin O'Donovan:

One engages with An Bord Pleanála to determine whether the project is considered applicable under the strategic infrastructure development, SID, process. We expect that projects of the scale we are talking about in the Greenwire project would be applicable to the SID process. It sets out a minimum number of turbines and megawatt size.
