On 18 July 2016 Ofgem E-Serve published a draft of the ‘Northern Ireland Renewables Obligation: Closure of the scheme to onshore wind ≤5MW’ for consultation. The document was created to provide clear guidance on the closure of the Northern Ireland Renewables Obligation (‘the NIRO’) to onshore wind capacity ≤5MW from 1 July 2016. We published a consultation to seek views from stakeholders on the clarity and detail of the draft guidance on 18 July 2016.
The consultation period closed on 15 August 2016. We have reviewed all responses and, where appropriate, updated the guidance document. The final version of the document was published on 14 October 2016.
