Looking at the overall report, there appear to be different solutions for different areas of the country. On the North-South interconnector, the perception is that there has not been much consultation and that there has been no change in what has been proposed.

That compares to Grid Link in respect of which there is a proposal to use existing infrastructure and Grid West in respect of which there is an option to have 200 kW or 220 kW lines upgraded and it is suggested 30 km of the line should be underground. Overall, will Mr. Slye explain further why different solutions are proposed in different areas?
