Mr. Owen Wilson:

On the Deputy's other question regarding the role of electricity in a decarbonised economy, we clearly perceive such a role and all the other extant studies support that. I am unsure whether it should be included specifically in the type of legislation that currently is being proposed. This is framework legislation that effectively establishes a process and it might best be dealt with within the process and in the subsequent iterations of the plan that will result from that process. Provided that the process understands the role of electricity and accepts the general consensus regarding it, I am confident that if it is done in a rational, logical process, the issue should be covered.
