The review is examining the key risks to the security of supply of electricity and gas as well as options to mitigate these. These include “the need for additional capacity to import energy, including LNG, energy storage, fuel diversification and renewable gases such as hydrogen”.
The Irish Times asked a spokeswoman for Minister for the Environment and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan if he would allow the use of LNG or FSRUs if recommended by the review. She said the energy review will be published next week and “it’s best to wait until then for further detail on the paper in the round and on the options that it may contain”.
She said Mr Ryan had previously said a State-owned storage capacity would have to be available to Irish people in the event of any supply disruption without breaching Ireland’s climate action plans.
