Companies should be encouraged to keep investing in Ireland's renewable sector and not punished for it.
That's the view of the former head of the ESB, as EU energy ministers meet in Brussels this week to discuss the ongoing gas and electricity crisis.
They will consider options including a price cap on imported gas and temporarily removing gas power plants from the current system of setting electricity prices.
Chair of the Energy and Climate Action Committee at the Irish Academy of Engineers, Don Moore, says Ireland's renewable plans could take a real blow if these measures are implemented.
