Could Mr. O'Connor develop his views on small-scale renewable energy generation? I am aware of a number of projects that offered fairly exciting prospects for renewable energy, but were killed by the cost of connecting to the national grid. Those costs meant it was out of the question for the projects to be pursued. Those who try to develop small generation projects feel they are not taken seriously. It seems that the State does not fully appreciate the potential benefit of small-scale generation to the wider national picture.
