Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Microgeneration Support Scheme Bill 2017: Discussion

Mr. Michael Manley:

There will be. There will be a carve-out for community. The intention is that the community would have a space within the auctions. The second aspect is that there will be a designed levered in there. We have to be careful because the model required by the Commission is an auction, which is effectively technology neutral, but we are trying to design in provisions and negotiate with the Commission on the use of levers that would mean we could give the kind of support the Deputy is talking about and yet preserve the integrity of the overall auction process. That is part of the reason it is taking so long.
