I do not want to see all of our electricity generation being supplied by large multinationals. I want to see community energy production. With that in mind, a community energy support scheme has been developed and is likely to be published in the coming months. It will ensure that people feel a sense of belonging and ownership as regards the electricity generated in their respective areas. The scheme is based on the experience in Denmark and Germany. A focus has been put on community energy by the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan. Work has been done on a support scheme and is due to be published shortly
