CER spends €8m on consultants

THE energy regulator spent almost €8 million on external consultants over a two-year period.

The Commission for Energy Regulation’s (CER) annual report for 2004, reveals that it spent just over €3m last year on consultants’ fees on top of a €4.85m bill the previous year.

The annual report does not reveal what the money was spent on or who the consultants are.
