Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Renewable Energy - Wind, Solar and Biogas: Discussion
Mr. David Maguire:
Under Irish legislation, an application to ESB Networks or EirGrid must be made by anyone who is seeking to transmit power through the network system. We cannot cable directly. From a planning perspective, there is no problem in terms of pure permitting legislation. The regulation of the wire is the problem.
