Semi-state company says cost of temporary emergency power generators could exceed €1 billion
EirGrid has warned it faces “liquidity challenges” due to the soaring cost of installing temporary emergency generators to ensure the country has enough power this winter and next.
The semi-state company, which operates the national grid, has told the energy regulator it has “liquidity challenges” for 2024 after the cost of installing 700 megawatts of emergency generators at four locations in Dublin, Offaly and Limerick soared in the last year. EirGrid initially estimated the emergency generation would cost just under €480 million, but this figure has since been revised to over €612 million. Senior industry sources have told the Business Post the full cost could now exceed €1 billion due to record cost inflation and higher prices being charged by manufacturers such as General Electric.
