Thank you,Elaine.

The Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment states in his answer: "Officials from my Department have engaged with stakeholders on the optional provisions in the New Electricity Market Design Directive (2024/1711), including the provision relating to plug-in mini solar systems, through an online consultation that ran from September to October 2024. "

Stake holders ... did the Department not ask the consumers,the Minister for consumer affairs,the renters associations,environment and peace activists,economists,democrats,defense specialists ... I guess so.

He didn't ask me for sure.

How can we get,can anyone get onto the 'stakeholders' list?!

Thanks again 🙂
