Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Grid Link Project: EirGrid

Mr. Fintan Slye:

The Deputy's first question was on forecast demand. We publish annually forecast demand and generation, and that is done on an annual basis for the entire system. When we then look at individual projects it is broken down by the relevant area. To reassure the Deputy, the North-South issue has been reviewed in the context of the most up to date assumptions for demand growth that we have and tested against scenarios around that. All of that has been done.
