Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities, in relation to home energy efficiency and retrofitting, what input her Department has had in the work being undertaken by the Department for the Economy for an Energy Strategy for Northern Ireland.

Answer:

A senior official represents my Department on the Energy Strategy Government Stakeholder Group. Housing officials continue to work with colleagues in the Department for the Economy’s Energy Strategy team in the Energy Efficiency, Heat and Consumer Working Groups supporting the work of the Stakeholder Group. The outputs from the Working Groups will inform the options consultation on the Energy Strategy which is to be published by the end of March.
