Eamon Ryan: ...demand, to do everything to reduce our demand wherever possible. We must be careful in terms of the peak hours, in particular, because that is when the plants that generate the most expensive power and use the highest amount of fossil fuel run. This is in addition to the purchase of additional equipment and other auction systems. Everyone here who made the case for solar, battery and...

Brian Leddin: ...Academy of Engineering. As an engineer, I believe the academy's comments do a disservice to the profession. This is the profession that 100 years ago conceived of the idea of the Ardnacrusha power station, which did so much to take this country from a subservient colony to a country that stood on its own two feet and was brave and ambitious. I dare say the Irish Academy of Engineering,...

Denis Naughten: ...initiatives such as this rooftop revolution we have been promised. All of us, including the Minister, know the reason this has not happened is because of the industry bigotry blockage against rooftop solar. As the Minister knows, I went against the departmental and industrial advice to sign Ireland up to a legal obligation to start micro-generation from June 2021. I did that because I...

Barry Cowen: ...war in Ukraine, which has created further pressures, obviously. What, then, of the original promises and commitments that were made relating to the type of provision we expected to see in respect of solar energy; the farming community's commitment and the potential there that is yet to be realised; industry; and community schemes, which are also untapped in the way envisaged initially?...

Joe Carey: ...that would pave the way for the development of high-scale green energy projects delivering jobs and opportunities for investment in west Clare and securing our energy needs into the future. The Moneypoint power plant site with its high-powered connections to the national grid would provide an ideal base for these operations. I have engaged with stakeholders involved in the green energy...

Patricia Ryan: The situation in which we find ourselves in regard to our energy security is as a result of the failure of successive Governments to deliver the generation capacity, through power stations, renewables, gas storage facilities and batteries, to meet the very significant increase in demand. The Government is quick to blame the war in Ukraine but, in reality, the increased demand from industry...

Darren O'Rourke: ...recently to travel to the Moray East offshore wind farm off the coast of Aberdeen alongside colleagues from the climate action committee. This wind farm alone will produce enough electricity to power 1 million homes. It is a remarkable feat of engineering and highlights the opportunity we have on this island to do the same. However, we have had a lost decade of development in...

Ossian Smyth: ...for fossil fuel production and oil refining, a cap on market revenues for specific technologies in the electricity sector which have not seen significant increases in costs which includes wind and solar and a voluntary 10% electricity demand reduction over the winter with a 5% reduction obligation over peak hours, which are generally between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. in Ireland. This regulation...
