Environmental Protection Agency (Emergency Electricity Generation) (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-03-09
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

The Minister of State asked for clarification on the questions and I would like that matter addressed. It is not an abstract question about large energy users. It is instead specific to the instances to which this Bill is conceived as being applicable. Will data centres be asked to turn down or minimise their demand before we start producing extra energy?
