QUESTION 434
QUESTION FOR WRITTEN REPLY
434. Mr K A Sinclair (COPE-NC) to ask the Minister of Energy:
Whether a status report on the revision of the Renewable Energy White Paper
will be made available; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant
details?
Reply
Yes, the status report will be made available during the process of the
policy development. The Renewable Energy White Paper review process also
needs to be aligned with the development of IRP2010 in order to ensure that
the policy is informed by a modelling process that has taken into account
stakeholder input. Once the IRP processes, together with the Climate Change
Policy, have been completed, this will inform the Renewable Energy policy
framework.
