Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion

Mr. Michael Mahon:

We have just got the list of applications. We are going through it and will engage with the industry in March to set out when we expect the connection application process to progress. We are going through a due diligence process. What typically happens in that process is that some speculative projects seem to disappear. We will be engaging one to one with those in the industry to understand how that can evolve. We are actually focusing on the projects that are really going to materialise.
