~ 8 GW of SMR capacity for Ireland would:
🌀Make our entire existing onshore wind fleet uneconomical (unless used for exporting or /hydrogen fuel making purposes)
🔋Make grid-scale batteries no longer relevant / completely obsolete.
🛢Close Moneypoint’s heavy fuel oil plant for good, and remove the need for biomass burning powerstations in the Midlands.
🔥End reliance on undersea-piped British natural gas for our power sector, permanently.
☀️Make existing & any future solar farms in our countryside obsolete.
🌀Make our upcoming offshore wind programme obsolete and unnecessary (unless, say, for hydrogen fuel production)
🔌Drastically reduce the need for our new €18billion grid upgrade programme
🌳Hit the EU's legally binding emmisions targets. Fully.
💲💵 becomes the marginal-price setter in the electricity market at a lower €/MWh than gas
🏭Allows datacenters and other electricity-heavy industry to flourish
🚘❄️Enables the pathway to full electrification of society in the heating and transport sectors.
