Politician(s) lobbied: Brian Carroll (Assistant Secretary), Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment

Intent: For government to reconsider the proposed implementation of the RHO. We consider this to be necessary if the scale of the ambition for this sector is to be realised and, adverse impacts on customers and the market are to be minimised. Clarity on the scheme and visibility of the longer-term trajectory of likely obligation levels out to 2045 (when the scheme is currently indicated to run), as well as the likely impact on customers, should be fully assessed and published.
