Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks

Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:

In the climate action plan targets, there is a breakdown of the 17,000 MW, or 17 GW, we have mentioned.

That target is broken down as follows. It includes 9,000 MW of wind power, which is just less than double where we are today, and 8,000 MW of solar power.
