Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities

Ms Aoife MacEvilly:

We are a while away from reducing reliance on gas because we need dispatchable power generation, for example. Through hydrogen or other renewable alternatives we are working to the extent that we can to ensure that this is a decarbonised dispatchable fleet over time. That is at the core of what we are trying to achieve here.
