I have already given this reply in respect of an earlier question. However, I might add to what has already been stated by saying that work is ongoing to encourage the on-site generation of electricity in homes and farms across Ireland. The ESB scheme currently in operation provides a guaranteed tariff of 19 cent per kilowatt hour of electricity produced and exported to the grid. Eligible technologies include small scale wind, photovoltaic, hydro and combined heat and power.
