The Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said that everything will be done to ensure that the country won’t experience any blackouts this winter.

Speaking in the Dail, the Taoiseach said that he has been assured that two gas-fired generation plants which are currently offline will be back up and running by November.

Martin also told the Dail that there will be demand management and certain companies will be required to use their own backup generators.

The Taoiseach’s comments come as there has been widespread concerns over electricity supply due to the plants being closed for maintenance.
