View answerMy Department is carrying out a review of the energy security of Ireland's gas and electricity systems which is focused on the period to 2030 but in the context of reaching net zero emissions by 2050. This review considers potential risks to both our natural gas and electricity supplies and examines a range of measures to mitigate these risks. My Department has received the final technical analysis to inform the review and I expect a consultation to launch in the coming weeks. The public consultation will help inform the review and the outcome of the review will be brought to Government for its consideration.
