Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities

Dr. Paul McGowan:

I fully acknowledge that. One of the things that we are at pains to point out is that in looking at district heating, we first look at what district heating is and which customers are captured by the definition of district heating. That is an important point that needs to be addressed. Second, those customers should be afforded the level of protection that is equivalent to the sorts of protections that are in place for electricity and gas customers. That is what we advocate for and what we are working towards in our deliberations in establishing a new framework for district heating. However, it just does not exist at this moment.
