Ossian Smyth: ...in order to connect, which was the standard anyway. I see data centres moving towards using biofuel instead of fossil fuels. Therefore, they have to play their part. With the development of solar, which is spreading very fast now, and the addition of batteries, we have taken VAT off solar panels and batteries. That battery combination with solar, with the smart control system, allows...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Renewable Energy Generation (16 Sep 2021)

Eamon Ryan: I agree with the Deputy. There is significant potential for Mayo in the development of renewable energy power systems. In the auction process we had last year for the first renewable energy support scheme, four projects were successful in the county - three wind farms and one solar farm as I recall. All four are now going to construction. I understand there is another stream of further...

The way this will happen is that we will raise the price of carbon in the developed world in order that it pays to develop technologies like wind, solar and electric cars and they become the cheap technology. Already in Chile, for example, they are deploying without subsidy a large amount of solar because the price has come down so much....
