View answerMy Department engaged consultants to carry out technical analysis on Ireland’s energy system for the period to 2030 to support its work on the review of the energy security of Ireland’s electricity and gas systems. A consultation on the review was published in September 2022 and the deadline for submissions was the end of October 2022. My Department received over 450 submissions from a broad range of individuals and organisations. The consultation responses were reviewed and analysed, and provided important insights on a number of aspects such as risks, mitigation options and policy measures. My Department is now completing the review and I will bring proposals to Government shortly.
