The Action Plan outlines the various initiatives being undertaken by the Northern Ireland Executive and includes a statement of leadership from the Executive, demonstrating a united and long-lasting commitment to sustainable energy.
A commitment to produce a SEAP was included within the Strategic Energy Framework (SEF), which was published by the Department of Trade and Investment (DETI) in September 2010. The document has been developed with the input of most NI departments, as well as the NI Authority for Utility Regulation, through the DETI led Sustainable Energy Inter Departmental Working Group (SEIDWG).

Arlene Foster said: "The development of the Sustainable Energy Action Plan demonstrates the benefits of a co-ordinated approach across Government to sustainable energy.
"This short, accessible document enables stakeholders to keep track of the many different energy-related initiatives produced by Northern Ireland departments, and shows a commitment to a sustainable energy future."
