Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Commission for Regulation of Utilities Strategic Plan: Discussion
Mr. Jim Gannon:
I do not believe we are discussing a temporary issue but rather about ensuring capacity. The commitment made in the capacity contract is for ten years. That is the window in which EirGrid look forward and ten years is a relatively short window in terms of predicting what other technologies might come in to compete with existing technologies.
