Darren O'Rourke (Meath East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

To be clear, if it is deliverable, Sinn Féin supports State-owned, non-commercial storage, preferably onshore. If we are saying Kinsale might be an option, it is important it is State-owned and non-commercial to avoid the potential of lock-in and, importantly, to ensure it is transferable to zero emissions gas or hydrogen, as appropriate. We will support the Government if that is the direction of travel of the Government, and we think it needs to happen at pace.

With regard to the generation capacity that is to be delivered next year, there was a question mark over this. Will it be delivered? Has the CRU delivered a judgment or when will it do so in regard to the index-linking or financial viability of those projects?
