Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Electricity Sector

2:00 am

Mr. Noel Cunniffe:

It has been an ongoing concern for us as well. We have been calling for the publication of the wind energy guidelines for several years to provide certainty for the sector on how to develop future onshore wind farms, to go back to the certainty point. We are very keen to see the publication of scientifically based wind energy guidelines that can take a balance on the need to hit targets to reduce the price of renewable electricity but also take into account the concerns that some communities might have. The more quickly we see those guidelines, the better.
