Vol. 574 No. 1

Written Answers. - Alternative Energy Projects.

Eamon Ryan

Ceist:

343 Mr. Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the price ranges of the successful projects in the AER VI scheme similar to those provided in the previous AER V scheme

In the AER I-IV rounds, under the alternative energy requirement programme, no information on price bids was released. In AER V indicative price bands were published which maintained the confidentiality of individual projects.

I intend to publish similar information on the AER VI bid process. The bands will not be settled until the capacity allocated in AER V, since withdrawn, is reallocated to AER VI projects and the European Commission's position on the additional 140 MW which I propose to allocate under AER VI is finalised. This will ensure the maximum amount of information about all accepted AER VI bid prices can be released whilst maintaining the confidentiality of individual projects.
