Or it could be a case that they would like to get it all done, for obvious reasons, but they cannot afford to and they have to do it in dribs and drabs. Under the scheme, they would have to pay twice as much upfront and then wait to seek the rebate. I asked that question because many people have flagged the issue. I noticed that the opening statement mentioned "energy transition must be a just transition." It appears that it is not really. The options open to people who cannot afford to pay for everything at once are far less. It comes back to my initial question about geographical and income spread in the scheme. Has the SEAI recommended income caps or means testing at all?
