Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Decarbonisation of the Heat Sector: Discussion

Mr. Ronan Coffey:

Mr. Browne talked already about the infrastructural changes they are making in his organisation, and we are faced with similar challenges at our sites due to the current nature of the capacity allocation across the grid. Significant investment in electrical infrastructure is currently needed. Looking at that in terms of opportunities to take a flexible approach on capacity allocation could be very impactful here.
