Renewable Energy Generation
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-16
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

Could I ask the Minister by way of a supplementary question the extent to which studies have been undertaken into joint wind and solar energy production centres? This would be with a view to bringing solar energy, insofar as is possible, to a level ensuring that wind energy is near continuous in times of calmness. Is that being studied at the moment? Has it been advanced to a stage where we can quantify exactly what is likely to come from the solar energy farms and how soon? How much evaluation is being done at the moment?
