The detailed terms and conditions of the proposed feed-in support programme for new renewable energy powered electricity generating plants were posted on my Department's website, in draft form, on 29 September last. The partial indexation of the proposed feed-in prices allows a higher price to be guaranteed in the early years of projects when debt and debt repayments are highest. Interested parties have until 12 October 2005 to raise any questions or to furnish any observations on the proposals, as published.
