Progress against the key targets in Northern Ireland’s Energy Strategy is lagging considerably, despite expenditure totalling around £107 million since 2020. That is among the findings of a report published today (Tuesday 21 October) by the Comptroller and Auditor General.
Dorinnia Carville’s report considers the Energy Strategy, and evaluates the approach taken by the Department for the Economy to implement it.
The Energy Strategy, published in December 2021, sets out a long-term vision of net zero carbon emissions and affordable energy for Northern Ireland. It included three key targets for completion by 2030.
