Electricity Generation
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-28
============================================================

Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

Temporary energy generation provides an extra 650 MW. It improves the buffer that is available in terms of a shortfall. The Deputy is asking me exactly what the headroom is. I think that really depends on how many plants suffer from unscheduled downtime. I am not sure it is an entirely predictable figure or something that I can give him.
