Effect of proposed withdrawal of the UK from the EU on the Irish Energy Market: Discussion.
5:00 pm
Ms Rebecca Minch:
We are 12% towards that 20%. This is why the increased allocation in 2017 is very welcome. We are able to ramp up again not just the existing better energy programme, but a range of flagship projects driving at deeper energy efficiency measures across the residential, public and commercial sectors to build a capacity to absorb more Exchequer funding, should it become available in the coming years.
