My Department is carrying out a review of the security of energy supply of Ireland’s electricity and natural gas systems.  The review is being carried out for the period to 2030 in the context of net zero emissions by 2050.  A technical analysis is currently underway which will be published to help inform a public consultation.  The review will consider a range of options to ensure continued security of electricity and gas supply. There options will be considered in the context of the Programme for Government commitments.

I expect the review to complete in the first half of next year and I intend that the findings of the review will be submitted to Government.
