I welcome the officials from the SEAI. I guess it is all about supply and demand. The greater the demand, the more prices will increase in the next few decades. As someone from an electrical background - my family was involved in the sector - I was always educated at home to turn off the lights and turn down the heating as much as possible. The delegates said the SEAI had identified where energy was used, but has the authority identified where it is wasted? Does it have a record of how electricity is wasted? Has the SEAI run infomercials or information campaigns to educate consumers on how to save electricity? My kids give out to me when I go around the house turning off the lights. They say, "Come on Dad - penny wise, pound foolish." I would like to know whether consumer campaigns have been organised to educate domestic and commercial users.

Will the representatives of the SEAI explain how the shared network relationship between the Twenty-six Counties and the Six Counties works? Is this relationship of economic benefit to the consumer?
