Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: An allocation of cost to whom?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: Consequently, although the regulator and the Government are telling everyone to reduce consumption, insulate their homes, make an effort to reduce the amount of electricity they are consuming to have an impact on our carbon emissions, the net effect of Electric Ireland's decision is to work against that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: No it is not. With respect, that is a kind of corporate speak. It is spreading costs but it is actually penalising people who have made an effort to insulate their homes and reduce the cost of electricity because it is putting a higher standing charge on them. Mr. Vickers is saying the only reason is because it is easier for Electric Ireland to tell people that it is charging a lower rate...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: But have they gone up significantly in recent times?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: The cost of the operation of Electric Ireland is part of that. What are the remuneration packages of the senior management of Electric Ireland? What are the scales?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: If Mr. Fenlon does not propose to go into that now, can he provide it to the committee at a later stage?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: Electric Ireland is a semi-State company. I would expect that Mr. Fenlon would be able to provide us with that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: So the answer is "No".

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: Okay. We will move on. The answer is either "Yes" or "No", Mr. Fenlon is either going to do it or he is not.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I am sorry, I do not mean to rush Mr. Fenlon but I have to rush to try to get what I can into the time. We are told that smart meters are supposed to work to assist us to manage the usage of our electricity to consume a lesser amount of electricity at peak times. Electric Ireland has already indicated by the increase in the standing charges that it does not see that as hugely important. ...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: What is the big issue between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: So it is a lack of capacity or a constraint on capacity.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: We have seen the issue then in recent weeks where EirGrid has indicated the potential for blackouts in that peak period. I will conclude on this point. Mr. Fenlon was CFO of the ESB until recently. He will be aware that the ESB in an auction in 2019 bid a phenomenally low rate to provide capacity. I think it was about €46 per MW. After two years, in 2021, the ESB, having won the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I know, but I just want him to comment on the ESB saying it would not be able to deliver. While he was CFO, the ESB had to pay the State a penalty of €4 million for that. To his mind, was that a failure of management within the ESB at the time? Does he accept that the failure or whatever decisions were taken then have impacted and added to the potential for blackouts this year on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)
