Mr. Brian Carroll:

Deputy Stanley is correct. We are only going to get about a quarter of the way to the 2020 target. We had reduced investment capacity over the period of the economic downturn. We need to start moving faster and accelerating policy. The national mitigation plan, the national development plan and the national energy and climate plan, which is forthcoming, are part of that process. We need to start looking out to 2030. We need to ensure we are in a position to meet our 2030 target and try our best to exceed that target. What is in the national development plan represents a step change and it is a commitment to significant additional investment.

Over 50% of transport emissions come from private journeys. Having 500,000 electric vehicles on the road will make a big impact on that. We need investment in public transport in our cities for modal shift. Public passenger transport accounts for approximately 4% of transport emissions. My colleague from the electricity policy division may wish to come in with a comment on the electricity sector.
