Show notes

Last week the government said it was set to spend €100bn over the next 5 years on infrastructure. Most of that will go on housing and water but the urgency on expanding the electricity grid was highlighted when Amazon walked away from a giant project because ESB networks couldn't guarantee the power for it. Now the energy suppliers Pinergy say that demand for electricity will grow by 66% by 2050 and based on the current trajectory and that demand won't be met with adequate supply. Enda Gunnell chief executive of Pinergy joined Joe Lynam on the show.
