PQ 286
286. Deputy Barry Heneghan asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment his views on if the proposed new large energy users and data centre grid connection policy being developed by the CRU will be aligned with the urgent need to connect new housing developments and small businesses in constrained areas to the electricity network; the extent to which the new requirement for on-site or nearby dispatchable generation or storage for new data centres will reduce grid constraints in the Dublin region over the next decade; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
