In her opinion, it is worth asking large electricity consumers in the country to use backup diesel generators in case of problems with the main power supply next winter.

It is claimed that concerns about Ireland's energy security arose in connection with the Ukrainian events, therefore it is critically important that the authorities, the energy sector and large energy consumers closely coordinate actions to ensure energy security both in winter and in other seasons.
