Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Energy Plant Certification: Commission for the Regulation of Utilities

Dr. Paul McGowan:

It could.

As regards an appeal, it is open to the developer to submit an alternative application to us which we will look at on its own merits. The original application in 2012 was from a separate legal entity which had a certain business case. The application in 2018 was from a different legal entity with a different business case. It is quite open to those legal entities to submit another application. We will look at them on their own merits. We do not have a predisposition. We follow the process in terms of assessing whether it achieves high efficiency CHP certification. It is either full or partial. In this case, it was partial and got an 18% partial certificate.
