      Yet again. Stated government policy and capacity nowhere near matching.

    3. Murpheeeee on

      Ah yeah let’s smash out a load of data centres around the country I’m sure that’ll help

      Force utilities by law to enable us to sell back power at a floating market price and people would invest thousands in home storage.

      We fail at everything because every cent we make gets filtered into the pockets of cronies

    6. PlentyAd1526 on

      And we’re allowing even more data centres to be built

      Take a drive in “rural Ireland” & you’ll inevitably see posters objecting to solar / battery / wind in the area. Shouldn’t have been too difficult to foresee adding generation’s problematic as is.

      The data centre thing is genuinely insane. Like it’s stupidity on a generational level.

      Data centres rightly get a lot of focus in this, but at root we are as bad at building electricity infrastructure as we are at planning and building most types of infrastructure. We really need to fix that for all of our sakes in so many other areas as well.

      > “a need for further generation to meet demand” in the early part of the next decade ranging from 200 megawatts to 400 megawatts.

      What’s that, like 30 or 40 wind turbines?

      We’ll have to tax electric vehicles as they are using too much energy from the Grid… Gov in 2029 probably

      The thread being full of people advocating for restraining demand rather than increasing supply sums up our issue with so many things. We need to be targeting abundance of energy, housing, etc etc, not pushing an austerity agenda.

      The grid have highlighted this years ago. They where looking at nuclear to solve the problem. Which is super exspensive. So it will be gas powered stations with an s bult over the next 10 years including the one at moneypoint.

      This is also a bit of a crock of shit too! I work for a renewable energy company and our grid offers show us being constrained by 50% and then they have no methodology for BESS. They are completely the reason we are in this situation. Renewable energy and BESS queuing to get on and they can’t facilitate it

      The would be an non issue if we were able to build infrastructure in this country.

      Maybe we should make electricity a luxury that only the rich can afford.
      We already pay more for it here than just about everywhere else in Europe so if we push on, we could burn off the lower and middle income earners and solve the capacity problem.

      I sent 1.8kWh to it yesterday. You can thank me for keeping your lights on.
