Ireland already has the gas capacity built though. It provides about 50% of their power today, so they just need to phase it down and then out, not build it from scratch.

This is broadly true of most developed nations.

If the standby gas capacity is needed to cover a majority of country's needs a few times a year, can it really be phased down?
