Mr. Peter O'Shea:

Clarification is important here. The first element was the microgenerators, which are small generators, typically up to 6 kW on a single phase. That is equivalent to probably 20 solar panels, that fall under our notify and fit scheme. One has to notify ESB that one intends to install these. There will be an interaction with the ESB around standards, and ensuring that the scheme is okay. It is not an interaction as to whether the capacity is there, typically, to take that.

Where there is scarce capacity for larger windfarms or larger solar farms, that goes through the standard enduring connection process that I mentioned earlier. It is in that standard enduring connection process that there may be scarcity in terms of the capacity available on the system. We try to build out the system in advance, to ensure that the capacity is there but in some circumstances, if one has a number of generators looking to connect at a particular location, that capacity might be scarce. That is typically when one is talking in megawatt numbers. In the first scheme one is talking in kilowatt numbers, in the second scheme one is talking in megawatt numbers.
