Consultation description

    Informed by the responses to this consultation, the new Energy Strategy will be published by the end of 2021. The Department for the Economy intends for this to be a ‘live’ document that is monitored through annual reports and has the flexibility to be updated at regular intervals based on changing circumstances and developments.

    The department needs a bold response to address our climate emergency. Decarbonising energy will affect everyone in Northern Ireland so your views on how the Department for the Economy does this are really important.
