Minister Committed To Energy Agenda
Stormont Energy Minister Arlene Foster has lauded the the Energy Institute Yearbook as an important contributor to the energy debate in Northern Ireland.
The Institute is a chartered professional body for the international energy industry.
The yearbook is published annually and is widely read by professionals and academics working across the energy sector in Northern Ireland.
The Minister said: "Northern Ireland needs to plan for a sustainable energy future that will also deliver on EU climate change targets and increase security of supply.
"The recent energy prices have brought energy efficiency into sharp focus and I will continue to work with Ministerial colleagues to ensure energy efficiency remains at the forefront of the energy agenda," she said.
Ms Foster urged all energy stakeholders to take part in the current debate and contribute by responding to the draft framework document which will be open for full consultation in the coming months.
"The objective for us all is to achieve a secure, sustainable, and affordable long-term future for energy in Northern Ireland, through innovative and ambitious actions, involving a shared vision with industry and other stakeholders," added the Minister.
