Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Housing and Retrofitting: Discussion
Mr. Michael Manley:
It is part of the modelling to be done under the climate action plan to create a process whereby homeowners, through their own energy companies, can do as described. On Monday, we noted that, in the farming sector, SSE Airtricity is doing a deal with Glanbia whereby farmers are funding the installation of solar equipment, whose generated energy can be spilled back into the system. That kind of tie-up is very much part of the future. I cannot say it will be effected in six or 12 months.
