Electricity Costs (Domestic Electricity Accounts) Emergency Measures and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-10-13
============================================================

Erin McGreehan (CC), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I want to make a brief comment. It would be remiss of me not to do so. I very much welcome this Bill. I spoke to the Minister of State previously about how we are wasting so much wind energy produced in this country by not utilising it. It is important to do so. I put it to the Minister of State and the officials who are present from the Department that one way of utilising the energy is through EnergyCloud, which involves a ready-to-go mechanism and is a cost-neutral way to provide energy to the most vulnerable in the community.
I now call the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Ossian Smyth, who has eight minutes.
