Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

We're doing a research and development project at the moment, a one megawatt project, which will turn basically renewable electricity and captured carbon into e-fuel, which can be used, for example, in the aviation sector or indeed in the motor sector, basically as a like-for-like solution.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

We've got fantastic fundamentals, particularly on wind in this market.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

We all know it's a very, very windy place relative to continental Europe.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

Indeed, yeah, we're going to have some storms coming through.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

Look, just looking at the most recent res auctions, which were published last week, we're seeing prices there at 9.6 cent per kilowatt hour for the next 15 years.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

And I think critically to look at those numbers, 70% of that number is not indexed.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

So it will be the same number in 15 years time as it is today.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

So it's a contract for difference.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

So effectively, the project is guaranteed that number.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

But equally, if the market price for electricity goes over that number, the developer will not benefit from that.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

The Irish state will benefit from that.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

And we see consumers all the time, you know, many of our clients are consumers who want to develop their own wind or solar on their projects.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

You know, they're paying north of 20 cents per kilowatt hour.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

And as we said, the most recent renewable energy projects are selling their power under 10 cents per kilowatt hour for 15 years non-index length.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

So it makes renewables extremely competitive in that space.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

Well, we're building a pipeline of projects, the majority of which are onshore.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

We have a little bit of exposure to the offshore market in Ireland here.
