At present most of the energy used in my Department doesn't come from renewable sources. Following a tendering process conducted under the auspices of the Office of Public Works, a contract is now in place with Energia for the supply of electricity to my Department's offices. It is understood that a small portion of the electricity supplied by Energia comes from renewable sources. The procurement of energy supplies by Agencies under the aegis of my Department is a matter for the Agencies themselves.
