The Energy Minister says the goal of EU ministers is to ensure power keeps going to citizens across the bloc this winter.
He's meeting EU colleagues in Prague today, to discuss a windfall tax, energy price caps and reducing usage in the 27 countries.
Speaking on his way into the meeting, Eamon Ryan says there's a fine balance in implementing all the measures.
Meanwhile, The Public Expenditure Minister has rejected claims that rising energy prices here are the government's fault.
Responding to Rural Independents TD Mattie McGrath, Minister Michael McGrath says wholesale energy market prices are skyrocketing.
