Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Energy - Ambition and Challenges: Discussion
Dr. ?ine O'Grady:
Hybrids are very much in reach and it is just about prioritising the end result to get over those regulatory hurdles. As I mentioned earlier, these relate to the cap in respect of the installation of the connection, the multiple legal entities behind a connection and the ability to use that connection dynamically and get the best use out of it. These are issues that need to be addressed in the next 12 months. We need to accelerate progress in this area to enable them in order that we can use hybrid connections to facilitate the delivery of the 2030 targets.
