FAQs

Why are tariffs not available in Northern Ireland?

The primary legislation under which the tariffs were introduced is the Energy Act 2008.

This applied in Great Britain, but not Northern Ireland, because energy policy is a devolved power there, so regulated from Stormont not Westminster.

The Northern Irish administration would therefore need to legislate separately if it wants to introduce the schemes in Northern Ireland.
