Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Renewable Energy - Wind, Solar and Biogas: Discussion
Mr. John Fitzgerald:
We have been talking to them. I know the committee is under time pressure. The Senator asked about generation on the west coast versus the east coast. Load factors are so much better on the west coast but connectivity is a greater challenge, as it always has been.
There is a trade-off between the two. The same is true all over Europe. Europe has to rewire itself anyway, no more so than along the Atlantic.
