Image: Sam Boal Image: Sam Boal AS THE ENERGY supply crisis builds, the question of who takes responsibility for shortages and potential outages is becoming heated.
“Enough is enough. I want to see those responsible for the current crisis held accountable for their actions or inactions,” added Cowen.His comments come as Eirgrid launched a stinging attack on the CRU declaring its system a “failure” and “not fit for purpose”. “The Regulatory Authorities are responsible for the design, rules and parameters of the Capacity Remuneration Mechanism. Eirgrid operates the Capacity Remuneration Mechanism auctions on behalf of the Regulators,” the statement said.The Government has launched a review into the energy supply concerns that have accelerated in recent months, after a number of system alerts were issued by Eirgrid.
He called on the Minister of State Ossian Smyth to clarify how the energy crisis had escalated to a stage where emergency generators would be required urgently in Dublin. In a statement to The Journal this weekend, the ESB repeated that it wholly rejects the assertions made by Cowen in the Dáil, pointing to statements issued on the ESB website.
Labour’s Alan Kelly raised similar concerns with the Taoiseach in the Dáil earlier this year, explaining how he saw the situation: “Another company Tynagh Energy threatened to go to the High Court saying the procurement run by Eirgrid was anti-competitive, so the plan was abandoned.”
Barry would like us to think he’s only in govt 5 minutes The grid capacity & reliance on gas powered electricity is long known cause of concern His brother was in charge of the purse during the peak of the boom for 4 years and Barry been supporting government for near 7 years
Consequences of sanctions on Russia coming home to roost.

How many deaths from hypothermia has MichealMartinTD and LeoVaradkar deemed acceptable this winter? Price gouging continues by the energy companies and blackouts are forecast .
Gov warned for years about a building electrical power shortage. No LNG storage, delayed off shore wind farm development, no gas strategic reserve facility. Industry was warning but powers not listening. Ireland hoping to have 5-7GWs of off shore power by 2030, Holland 20GWs 🤷♂️
CowenBarry He’s gonna be pissed when he finds out who’s in charge
CowenBarry Thanks for publishing a press release from Barry Cowan. No mention of the fact that he and his party have been in power all this time and are to blame...

CowenBarry Nothing to do with politicians switching off power stations at the whim of a doomsday cult.
CowenBarry EamonRyan asleep at the wheel, what's new.

CowenBarry I admire Barry's efforts on this matter but have got to ask, why MichealMartinTD LeoVaradkar & EamonRyan are not as curious on these matters, seems rather odd, perplexing & curious to me & I suspect I'm not alone.
