Renewable energy industry has ‘no confidence’ in government to deliver on targets
A letter sent by an industry body to Darragh O’Brien, the Minister for Housing, has outlined how renewable energy projects are waiting well over a year for planning decisions to be made
The renewable energy industry has “absolutely no confidence” that key state agencies can deliver the major infrastructural upgrades needed to decarbonise the economy.
In a letter sent last week to Darragh O’Brien, the Minister for Housing, Wind Energy Ireland (WEI), an industry body, outlined how renewable energy projects are waiting well over a year for a planning decision, which is more than three times the target deadline of 18 weeks set for strategic infrastructure applications.
