Mr. Andy Fox:

As for the community benefit funds to which Deputy Bruton referred, each RESS project has to contribute €2 per megawatt hour it produces. That is across commercial and community projects. That will apply also to the offshore renewable energy when it comes online. We have a set of terms and conditions that go with that, developed by our colleagues in the Department, for onshore RESS, which stipulates how that funding can be spent. There is a significant drive towards supporting the UN sustainable development goals, specifically calling out climate adaptation and education as some of the key elements of that. There is a percentage allocation of those funds that has to be spent towards that, and there are caps as to what can be spent in other areas. Our role is to maintain the national register of that process so, as each individual project comes online, it will register through us and we will then maintain an annual reporting cycle and measure its compliance with those terms and conditions.
