Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks
Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:
They will be located near the gas network so they can feed the network. That is absolutely the case. There may still be a need for them to be connected on the basis that a factory may need a grid connection. The plants may or may not have some generation on site. If there is a need to use electricity on site, they would need a connection to the electricity network.
