A long-term vision and roll out plan across the various technologies was required. The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) was flexible enough to allow Government to take advantage of new technologies but manufacturers and investors required a degree of certainty and clarity on the allocations for the various types of technology in the medium to long term. The IRP should only be amended to encourage local manufacturing. Each type of technology required a minimum annual procurement allocation to allow the local industry to develop. The studies being undertaken should provide an indication of what the minimum allocation should be for each type of technology.
