View answerAs part of the Government’s asset disposal programme agreed with the Troika, the Government has agreed the sale of some non-strategic power generation assets of the ESB.
This decision has been conveyed to the Board of ESB. The matter will now be progressed by the company. It will also be overseen by a Steering Group co-chaired by my Department and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform working with the assistance of NewERA.
