Public Accounts Committee
2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
9:00 am
Mr. Mark Griffin:
We have had three REFIT schemes in place already. We are putting in place a new renewable electricity support scheme. It is more likely to be auction based rather than the REFIT, which is a fixed amount. That will be in place from 2018. The design of the scheme is almost complete. We have a public consultation process under way, if not concluded. We will take on board the views of the people who have made submissions to the consultation process and we will work to get that up and running in 2018.
