Text
We have done an energy efficiency scheme for businesses through Invest NI, and we want to look at what more we can do for domestic customers.
The challenge, as ever, for every Department is to have the finances to be able to do those things. Executive targets for reducing carbon emissions will include the need for much more energy efficiency. Much more energy efficiency will therefore be required in the time ahead. We will bring forward proposals and try to support them as best we can out of our Department's limited resources and also make an argument at the Executive table for collective responsibility when it comes to more energy efficiency and more use of renewables, a consequence of which will be a reduction in our carbon emissions.
