David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for his reply. Is he disappointed at the take-up of 189 that signed up, from a target number of 4,000? With regard to the planning the Minister mentioned, are there difficulties in getting connections at the 10.8 kilowatt level? No planning is required up to 11 kilowatts but I am told there are problems with the connection at 10.8 kilowatts. He might provide information on that.

Concerning the tariff of 19 cents to which the Minister referred, is it true this applies only to the first 3,000 kilowatts generated per annum? Does the Minister propose to raise that limit?
