Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Mr. Robin McCormick:
Taking into account each of the different technologies, we would give wind a very small credit for being there when we need it. Conventional plant gets a greater credit depending on what their outage regime is, how often they are forced out, and what their planned outage rate is. For interconnectors, we give the interconnector a credit and then subtract that from the demand that must be met.
