Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Energy - Ambition and Challenge: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Paddy Phelan:

An important point goes back to 2017 or 2018 and my time on the board of SEAI working closely with Ms Marie Donnelly, when a number of associations identified the need for the renewable associations to work together rather than against each other. The establishment of Renewable Energy Ireland has been a positive development. All the renewable associations, whether electric, transport or heat, work under that forum umbrella to align the message.
