Renewable Energy Generation

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I get the idea of front-line energy and managing the system. At the moment, gas is being bought from Energia which deals with a management company which is made up of the residents. It creates a whole pile of issues.
I have spoken to some third party companies about this matter. They are considering anything that could be a geothermal solution, for example, a column-type system allied with a hybrid system with a number of heat pumps, even if they are not specific to each residence. We need to make changes to the support scheme for renewable heat so that it might suit this type of system, enabling a long-term contract to be drawn up between the management company, the third party provider and the likes of Frontline Energy in order to provide something that is better in terms of the environment and cost.
