The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) is statutorily responsible for the licensing and authorisation of power generation plants under the Electricity Regulation Act 1999. I have no direct function in the matter. I am aware that different regulatory regimes may apply depending upon the size of the generator and the technology used. I have asked the CER to respond directly to the Deputy outlining the situation with regard to 250 kw generators of any type.
