1
Now, since the war in Iran began, energy prices have steadily increased.
2
The worry is that electricity will be next, and Irish households already pay among the highest electricity prices in Europe.
3
Well, with me now to discuss what could lie ahead is Dara Lyon, a CEO of the Electricity Association of Ireland, which is a representative body for the electricity industry.
4
Dara, thanks so much for coming in to speak to us this evening.
5
The Minister for Energy, Dara O'Brien, this week caused some alarm when he said that energy prices, electricity prices, I should say, could be up by about €150 in a year and that it could happen in the next few months.
6
Is that what you see happening?
7
Well, I don't think anyone knows the answer to that question except suppliers themselves.
8
And those decisions will be based on a number of factors.
9
One, how many customers they have, what kind of tariffs they have and their own risk appetite.
10
But two big factors will also play into that, how long the Iran war continues and the price of gas.
11
Retail prices in Ireland generally track gas prices.
12
That's because gas, it makes up 50% of our electricity generation.
13
And when you look at the price of futures gas, that is gas for next winter, it's about 109.
14
Today, it's about 108.
15
And in January, it was about 97 cent.
16
But we did see when the Strait of Hormuz was opened, gas prices came down.
17
So the hope is that there is a quick end to this war.
18
It will have an effect on gas prices.
19
And as suppliers start to hedge for next winter, that those gas prices will be much lower.
20
And when does that hedging start?
21
Is it for today?
22
Is it for three months time, a year's time?
23
It's really in slices.
24
So they can hedge for a day, a week, for six months ahead and up to two years ahead.
25
And that is the IP for each supplier.
26
They have traders that try to gauge the risk, how much they need and how much to hedge at any given time.
27
So they're constantly looking at the prices ahead, constantly decided when to jump into the market and when to jump out.
28
We know that the European Commission has said that governments should be able to do more now and they're looking at grid charges, taxes, all of that.
29
And we know that network charges and taxes make up about 30 or 40% of what you pay in your electricity bill.
30
Is there an argument now for the government to take on those charges for maintaining the network themselves and to also reduce the tax on electricity?
31
Well the network charges are set by the regulator and they're set for a five-year term and what they've decided in terms of the investment that the likes of ESB networks need and Airgrid need, that they will add charges.
32
charges but the charges are in the region of one euro and 75 cent per month and for that we get upgrades on the grid 100,000 houses connected a million EVs on the system and a half million heat pumps on the system so it's very good value however the tariffs to use the network are also up for revision and I think there's there is room for flexibility there that where you can bring on demand when there's excess electricity, then maybe there's a way that tariffs could flex to allow that electricity to come on the grid.
33
Do you see some scope in what the European Commission has been talking about for help for consumers if electricity prices do increase?
34
It was a great document, the Accelerate EU, and it's given a whole list in the Annex of things that governments can do.
35
In Ireland, we have a low taxation on electricity.
36
We've already reduced the VAT rate down to 9%.
37
But I think that the European Commission will look at taxation across the board on energy and maybe set some rules for all member states to do.
38
But we already have substantial grants for EVs, for retrofits that they've looked for.
39
They've looked for freezes in public transport.
40
Ireland brought that in a number of years ago.
41
And we also have moratoria on disconnections during the winter period, all part of the list of actions within that annex.
42
Okay, now arrears are still a really big problem in this country when prices increased.
43
after the war in Ukraine started, the number of people in arrears also increased.
44
Do you think that is likely to continue and how should it be tackled?
45
I think arrears have been stubbornly high and I think the next step is to go a bit deeper into who is in arrears and to what amount.
46
And I think concentrating on some of the high arrears, maybe into the area where people just won't pay and then into the arrears where people are unable to pay.
47
And I think if we can disaggregate that data, concentrate on the vulnerable customers and give supports, for example, like an electricity allowance through their bill.
48
And this is where the likes of the Department of Social Welfare has to come in rather than blanket reductions blanket credits for everybody we need to make sure that the credits go to vulnerable customers and we saw during the last time credits were applied arrears went down and what about there'll be lots of people worrying now that their electricity prices might be going up because they've seen petrol diesel home heating oil all go up what options do people have bar turning off the electricity not using it Well, I think that would not be wise.
49
I mean, people need to be warm, they need to have their showers, they need to cook.
50
But one thing that we've invested heavily in Ireland, ahead of a lot of European countries, is we've put in 2.1 million energy smart meters.
51
And only 30% of customers have actually activated them.
52
If they talk to their supplier, ask for their smart meter to be activated, they get half hourly data that they can collect over a period of time.
53
ESPN have a wonderful portal that you can get your daily weekly all set out on your profile it allows you then to go back to your supplier and say here's my profile over the last three months what's the best tariff for me how can you save me money.
54
There was some fear at the start when smart meters came in that the tariffs were more expensive and has that stopped people switching over?
55
I think there's a there's a combination of looking at your profile it's hard for people to make that leap into the unknown but by activating your smart meeting you have your data every half an hour of consumption and that can be uploaded to your supplier or the supplier can assess your usage and then put a tariff to you that you then can save money on.
56
Okay, Dara Lyonis, CEO of the Electricity Association of Ireland, thank you.
57
Thank you.

맥락 및 배경

이번 비디오에서는 이란 전쟁이 아일랜드의 전기 요금에 미치는 영향에 대해 다루고 있습니다. 아일랜드는 이미 유럽에서 가장 높은 전기 요금을 지불하는 나라 중 하나이며, 에너지 가격의 지속적인 상승이 걱정되고 있습니다. 전기 협회의 CEO인 다라 리온이 이를 설명하며 에너지 가격 변화의 배경과 요인에 대해 이야기합니다. 전쟁의 지속 시간과 가스 가격이 전기 요금에 미치는 영향이 주요 토론 주제입니다.

일상 대화에 유용한 5가지 문구

  • “전기 요금이 약 150유로 오를 수 있습니다.” - 가격 변동에 대한 우려를 표현할 때 사용할 수 있는 문장입니다.
  • “가스 가격은 전기 가격에 직접 영향을 미칩니다.” - 에너지 수급과 가격의 상관관계를 설명할 때 유용합니다.
  • “문제가 해결되기를 희망합니다.” - 특정 상황에서 긍정적인 기대감을 드러낼 때 적합한 표현입니다.
  • “정부는 더 많은 조치를 취해야 합니다.” - 정책이나 행정에 대한 의견을 표현할 때 사용할 수 있습니다.
  • “2023년 겨울을 대비해야 합니다.” - 미래를 준비하는 필요성을 강조할 때 좋은 문장입니다.

단계별 쉐도잉 가이드

이 비디오의 주제를 효과적으로 이해하고 표현하기 위해 영어 쉐도잉 연습을 권장합니다. 우선, 비디오를 몇 번 시청하여 전체 맥락을 파악하세요. 다음 단계로는 다음과 같이 진행하세요:

  1. 비디오의 특정 문구를 잘 듣고, 해당 문구를 반복합니다. 예를 들어 '전기 요금이 약 150유로 오를 수 있습니다.'라는 문장을 여러 번 저음 반복합니다.
  2. 문장을 정체하지 않고 자연스럽게 이어서 발음하는 연습을 합니다. 이를 통해 shadow speech의 효과를 극대화할 수 있습니다.
  3. 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 보고, 전문적인 발음과 비교하여 개선할 점을 찾습니다.
  4. 다양한 문맥에서도 이러한 표현을 사용할 수 있도록 연습합니다. 예를 들어, 가족이나 친구와 이러한 주제에 대해 토론해 보세요.
  5. 마지막으로, 비디오의 나머지 부분도 따라 하며 서서히 어려운 문장 구조와 어휘를 익혀갑니다.

이러한 과정을 통해 영어 회화 연습의 능률을 높이고, 더 다양한 상황에서 자신 있게 의사소통할 수 있게 될 것입니다. shadowspeaks를 통해 자신만의 shadow speak 기술을 보다 발전시키세요!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
