NORTHERN IRELAND STRATEGIC ENERGY FRAMEWORK 2009 PRE-CONSULTATION SCOPING PAPER
DETI today launched a scoping consultation aimed at engaging the key energy stakeholders and garnering their views on Northern Ireland's energy future over the next ten years or so. The Department anticipates that feedback on the scoping paper will enable it to formulate a more detailed draft framework for full consultation, early in 2009.
The pre-consultation scoping paper is intended to:
(i) set out the current Northern Ireland energy position; and
(ii) seek contributions to identifying the best energy solutions for Northern Ireland which can:
a. promote economic development;
b. enhance security of supply;
c. reduce our dependence on imported fossil fuels; and
d. minimise costs for all consumers.
