Security of Electricity Supply: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2022-09-15
============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

There was an auction process this year in French waters with every company investing in it with the expectation that it will come down in price in the same way that fixed offshore wind has done. We will move, in the second phase, into southern waters as well as western waters and then further west. The advantage of this power supply is that we can convert it through electrolysis, a working mechanism, into hydrogen and ammonia which gives us the storage and transport and other fuels that can power our country. To answer the question on the medium-term prospect, it will be combined with solar, onshore wind and use of biomass but that is the primary source.
