Ms Gillian Baker:

It is a niche area and a small number of communities that are interested. Going from a base of one community project, which was in Tipperary, seven was a good result. Nine in RESS 2 was also a good result. The policy comes and then, with the supports we have available, there is a lead-in time. We now have the full range of supports and we would expect to see a much bigger number going into RESS 3. We have grants available, expert trust advisers to guide communities through every step of the development process and information hubs so communities are fully informed about what is involved and how to navigate the grid and planning systems.
