The Programme for Government commits to prioritising the development of micro-generation of electricity. Under the Climate Action Plan, a Micro-Generation Working Group, chaired by my Department, is developing an enabling framework for micro-generation which tackles existing barriers and establishes suitable supports within relevant market segments. My Department outlined proposals for a new Micro-generation Support Scheme in a public consultation that closed on 18 February.
An analysis of the almost 900 submissions received is underway by my Department, with a view to publication of a summary of responses on my Department's website in the coming weeks. The findings from the submissions to the public consultation will inform the final design of the Micro-generation Support Scheme.
