Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Mr. Mark Foley:
A large-scale wind farm can produce renewable energy very cost-effectively. The tariffs that have been developed in Europe, such as in Portugal, to stimulate micro-generation have been very high but that is part of Government policy there. Scale gives significant economies, as it does in any business, and prices that could not be achieved otherwise.
