Ireland has set itself a target that 70% of our total energy needs should come from renewable sources by 2030. With 4 years to go that figure currently stands at around 36%. That means that fossil fuel usage especially Gas will continue to be the backbone of our national electricity requirement for a few years yet.  In its latest report Gas Networks Ireland, says gas demand fell 1.5% last year while gas demand for transport actually rose by 10% due to compressed natural Gas and biogas demand rising.     

All to discuss with Edwina Nyhan the Director of Strategy and Regulation with Gas Networks Ireland.
