Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

1:59 pm

Mr. Robert Watt:

The renewable side is funded through the electricity system. It is funded by user charges and the PSO as appropriate. It is not directly funded by the Exchequer; the Exchequer does not have a role. Through the REFIT scheme there is a floor - a guaranteed price. There is a subsidy, but not direct Exchequer funding.
