Motion Amendment (Private Members' Motion): The Green Energy Transition - Amendment 1

Leave out all after ‘upscale renewable energy production;’ and insert: ‘whilst protecting consumers from cost shocks; notes that renewable energy generation has increased significantly since 2013; recognises that alongside concerns around insufficient infrastructure and ineffective planning policy, the absence of proposals to support the cost of a just transition, is a significant barrier to renewable energy expansion; affirms that unless addressed, Northern Ireland will fail to pursue statutory climate targets in a way that is fair and affordable for local communities; calls on the Minister for the Economy to introduce a new renewable energy support scheme to upscale onshore and offshore renewable energy production, as well as provide financial assistance to increase energy efficiency and small-scale energy generation among businesses and households; and further calls on the Minister to work with the Minister for Infrastructure, and the Executive as a whole, on a reform of planning policy which facilitates the development of renewable energy technology and meets the current energy needs of consumers at the lowest possible cost.’

The motion has not been assessed yet.
