Good Practice Principles for Community Benefit Funds under RESS
On 30 March 2021, the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications published a draft of the Good Practice Principles for Community Benefit Funds (the GPP) under the first Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (RESS 1) for public consultation. The RESS 1 GPPs provide further insight into, and clarification of, the requirements under the RESS 1 terms and conditions for the establishment and operation of a Community Benefit Fund. The RESS 1 GPPs are intended as guidance only (as highlighted in the document itself) and do not constitute additional conditions under RESS 1.
