Draft Onshore Renewable Electricity Action Plan
The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment has launched a statutory consultation on a draft Onshore Renewable Electricity Action Plan which aims to maximise the amount of renewable electricity generated from onshore renewable sources in order to enhance diversity and security of supply, reduce carbon emissions, contribute to the 40% renewable electricity target by 2020 and beyond and develop business and employment opportunities for Northern Ireland companies.
This draft Plan has been the subject of a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) which has considered the potential effects of such developments on the environment in Northern Ireland. The findings of the SEA are documented in an Environmental Report and Non-Technical Summary.
All responses to this consultation should be submitted by 20 January 2012.
