Renewable Energy Generation
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-15
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I encourage and implore the Minister to use the opportunity of the July stimulus to be very ambitious for renewable energy. What are the plans for the inclusion of renewable energy projects in the July stimulus? I am aware there are barriers to the development of renewable energy, for example, there are regulatory barriers to offshore wind. I am particularly interested in the model of delivery of renewable energy resources, in particular community involvement, co-operatives and community-led projects. What plans has the Minister for developing different models of delivery?
