SUMMARY:Breakfast Briefing with EirGrid
DESCRIPTION:EirGrid are undertaking their largest ever nationwide consultation and engagement programme to help shape our electricity future. Join us in being part of the conversation on Friday\, 26th March at 11.00am.\n\n \n\nThis is 'Our' electricity future - your grid\, your network\, your power supply. Help us shape it and together we can deliver a transformed power system for future generations.\n\n\n\nABOUT\n\nElectricity will increasingly be used for more reasons\, like transport and heating. To prepare for this future\, Ireland must make the grid ready so that at least 70% of Ireland's electricity can come from renewable sources by 2030. The 70% target is a step towards the ultimate goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. To prepare for this\, EirGrid must make the electricity grid stronger and more flexible. The grid will need to carry more power\, and most of this power will come from renewable generation that varies depending on the weather. Given the scale of change\, Ireland will need to plan for a great deal of new grid infrastructure.\n\n \n\nWe want to hear your thoughts on four draft approaches\, so we can agree on an approach to reach the 2030 targets.\n\n \n\nThere are 4 approaches which EirGrid will outline in further detail:\n\n \n\nApproach 1: Generation-Led   Plan for electricity generation at the most suitable locations\n\nApproach 2: Developer-Led   Continue to develop the grid on a project-by-project basis in any location\n\nApproach 3: Technology-Led   Change the technology used for the grid infrastructure\n\nApproach 4: Demand-Led   The location of large energy users is decided by government policy
