Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

3:00 pm

Chairman:

I have a question about the gate system and how it works for connecting new projects. How does EirGrid connect them in order of strategic importance? The witnesses discussed the larger projects rather than microgeneration and reaching our 2020 targets, but are they confident it will connect all of those who are in the queue by 2020? How does it work and how will the 2020 targets be reached?
