Mr. Garrett Blaney: The Commission for Energy Regulation, CER, welcomes the clean energy for all Europeans package. It is about setting Europe as a leader in clean energy. To date, Ireland has played a key part in successfully developing Europe's position on clean energy, particularly with renewables. For example, CER recently had a visit from the Australian Government which has had major...

Hildegarde Naughton: I thank Mr. O’Shea and all the witnesses. How does the Commission for Energy Regulation, CER, believe the withdrawal of the UK from the EU would impact on the integrated single electricity market? Mr. Blaney mentioned it in his presentation but he does not seem overly concerned about it. Could he expand on that? I am particularly interested in the concept of energy-active...

Timmy Dooley: ...has dropped by 30% yet at retail level it is down only 3%. Could the regulator address that? Is there anything in this package that will strengthen the regulator's hand, that will allow the CER to focus more on the consumer and if so when is that likely to be ready for transposition? I hear a lot of push-back from the citizen and from industry, particularly small to medium...

Brian Stanley: I thank our guests for attending and for providing us with this information. I have a number of questions. The first of which is for the CER. While energy prices, in terms of gas and oil, have dropped and we have more renewable energy on stream, customers are not benefiting from the reduction in energy prices. My electricity bill continues to increase every year despite the fact that we...

Ms Aoife MacEvilly: As there was a common theme in the questions on retail prices from Deputies Stanley and Dooley, I will take those together. Members may be aware that the CER has recently published a major review of the operation of retail markets in Ireland. We specifically looked at whether competition is delivering for consumers. The key findings were that competition is delivering...

...us to import power from Europe more cheaply. In terms of the allocation of costs, for projects like this there is a regulatory process in Europe called cross-border cost allocation, CBCA. The CER, with its counterparts in France, looks at where the benefits for the project fall, be that in France or elsewhere in Europe. If the benefits predominantly accrue to one country, should the...

Eamon Ryan: ...what we may be looking at? Mr. Gannon mentioned it and perhaps he could expand on what we could be doing in renewable energy and transport. I have two final questions, one of which is for the CER. I seem to recall that we started doing the cost-benefit analysis on the smart metering programme in 2010. Is the CER satisfied that it has taken us eight years to do a cost-benefit...
