Naoise Ó Cearúil (Kildare North, Fianna Fail)

The climate action plan sets out ambitious offshore targets of 5 GW by 2030 and up to 20 GW by 2040. However, none of the offshore projects are yet operational as the Minister has mentioned and the first grid connections are not expected until 2028. Will the Minister outline how the Government intends to accelerate delivery, specifically the current offshore pipeline aligned with the climate action plan 2025 targets? What progress has been made on grid integration and planning reform to ensure those targets are actually met?
