106. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications further to Parliamentary Question No. 103 of 27 April 2023, the status of the review of the security of energy supply of Ireland’s electricity and natural gas systems for the period to 2030; the timeline for the publication of the review; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28819/23]
View answerThe Review of security of energy supply of Ireland’s electricity and natural gas systems is focused on the period to 2030, but in the context of ensuring a sustainable transition up to 2050. To support its development, a detailed technical analysis has also been published and an extensive consultation process carried out, providing important insights from over 450 individuals and organisations on the range of options that could be implemented to support Ireland’s security of supply framework, with important insights on a number of aspects such as risks, mitigation options and policy measures.
My Department is finalising the completion of the review, as a matter of priority. Once completed, I will bring my recommendations to Government for consideration.
