I understand where Ms Graham is coming from, but there are days when the wind does not blow and other days when it is at 50%. With the rock-off on the generation, we cannot handle any more than 50%. There is pressure on the ESB at the moment to bring that higher in order to take more of it when there is a windy day or night. Is it not true to say that an €800 million investment on the generation side is needed to handle that capacity?
