Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Energy - Ambition and Challenges: Discussion

Mr. Justin Moran:

As Mr. Cunniffe said, today we are talking about a 50:50 chance of hitting 5,000 MW. The longer it takes to deliver some of those targets, the more challenging it will be to deliver that to a point where just on a practical level we might not be able to achieve it all. One of the asks in the document was the delivery of the Maritime Area Planning Bill, and that has been delivered and on time, so there is progress and there is momentum building up.
