Electricity supplies face ongoing pressure due to increases in demand

Irish electricity supplies face increasing demand, potentially leading to shortfalls by 2034, driven by climate change measures, data center expansion, and new technologies. Eirgrid forecasts a 45% demand increase between 2023-2034, with peak demand exceeding 7,000MW by 2034. Moneypoint power station's life is extended, switching to heavy fuel oil. New power plants are needed by 2027, and additional generators may be required by 2028-2032. Northern Ireland also faces potential supply uncertainties.
