Ms Marie Donnelly:

I think it is very unlikely that we will achieve our current targets by 2030. For the moment, I have not even mentioned offshore wind. Focusing on onshore wind and onshore solar, which is what we would use in our own society and our own economy, we are not on track and we are looking at some years past 2030 before we can achieve that. We can change it, of course. It is in our gift to decide that we will roll out more onshore wind, more solar and indeed more microgeneration to support individual households and businesses, to get us closer to the point where we will be able to be self-sufficient in our own energy into the future, but that will require a significant change in some of the provisions that are currently happening. We have the renewable electricity support scheme, RESS, auctions where we have pricing for the competitive bids on both wind and solar. We have delays in access to the grid. We know we have difficulties with the grid, which needs to be reinforced as a matter of urgency. We know we have difficulties with planning, where planning decisions have changed halfway through the development process of projects. Stability into the market, assurance of stable policy and application of stable policy is key in order to ensure that we get sufficient investment on the ground to deliver the targets that we need.
