We do not have anywhere in Moneypoint to store the carbon. Extensive surveys have been conducted which showed there was nothing suitable there. We have a fleet of modern gas plants, often quite young, some of which we are now switching off because we cannot pay the capacity payments or they did not win in the bidding system. The idea of building new gas plants when we are shutting others down is unusual.

Regarding the Canadian plant, what is the average price per kWh of power produced?
