Reducing Household Energy Costs (Revised Wording) - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘energy security’ and insert:
'and recognises the considerable vulnerability in our grid infrastructure; stresses the need for an independent review of SONI and NIE Networks’ failure to properly invest in our grid and the exorbitant prices paid for grid connection by consumers and renewable generators, in comparison with Great Britain; further recognises the need for green hydrogen and anaerobic digestion electricity incentives; advocates for the early building of a second east-west interconnector, in light of the earliest in-service date of 2031 of the North-South Interconnector and the virtual only operation of the Integrated Single Electricity Market; and calls on the Minister for the Economy to outline any discussions she has had with her Executive colleagues on the possibility of joining Ofgem to ensure the continuity, security and appropriate regulation of our electricity supply and to allow the opening up of our renewable market.'
