Sir, - The introduction of a new, consumer friendly, low tax, higher yield savings scheme is the talk of the town right now. With State energy agencies using these funds to build publicly owned renewable energy and battery storage projects. Private offshore wind and solar schemes will be built with public subsidies to feed Greenlink. It will export green energy to the UK and receive cheap nuclear, renewable and other generated power in return. The very least the Government could do now is explore the possibility of tying their new savings scheme into some of the renewable energy projects coming down the pipe as a result of Greenlink and the burgeoning offshore wind sector.
