@CSOIreland How does a 21% increase in gas power plant consumption (year-on-year from December 2021) advance the #Irish commitment to reduce energy #emissions by 75% by 2030?
NB: Data centres, powering #business and paying #tax outside #Ireland, contributed most of this additional gas powered #energy capacity - effectively a parallel, #private grid outside ESB control.
