My Department is involved in the collaborative purchase of electricity for use in Government Departments operated by the Government Supplies Agency, OPW, who administer the tendering process. The present contracts for the supply of electricity to my Department do not include electricity from renewable sources. My Department will evaluate the situation when the contract is re-tendered next year. The information in relation to the aegis bodies under my Department is being compiled and will be forwarded directly to the Deputy.
