With respect, the schools do not need energy during the summer but housing estates around them, or the factory nearby, do. For energy being pumped into the grid, it does not matter how far away the source is.

I address this question to Mr. Walsh. Would it be useful if the SEAI had a role in giving advice when we are doing capital projects in terms of saying it would be a good idea to put in a solar panel or to re-orientate the roof of the building in a different direction, so it is south facing? How do we get away from spending billions of euro and not getting energy efficient buildings, or not even thinking of it?
