Question 964: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if there is grant assistance available to resident groups of apartment complexes for solar panels designed to power the generation of electricity similar to the grants for solar panels for water heating purposes; and his views on grant aid for a pilot scheme to generate electricity in an apartment complex.

The Greener Homes Scheme currently concentrates on thermal applications and does not support electricity generation.

We are committed to developing domestic scale renewable electricity and in the context of the ongoing analysis of all issues involved I have asked Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI) to advise on the particular issues inherent in renewable energy initiatives by residents in apartment complexes. I will forward SEI's advice to the Deputy when received.
