Mr. Mark Foley:

The direction of travel for 2020 looks positive. Under the old gate 3 process, most of the developers have their connection offers from us, they have signed their contracts and they have done their engineering, procurement and construction, ECP. It looks like we are travelling in the right direction for 2020.

To get us into the next world, which is 2020 to 2030, under Government policy the regulator launched a process called enduring connection policy 1, ECP-1, which allows for the next batch of projects, namely, onshore wind, solar and battery, and it asked us to process those connections. We have an intensive process going on, therefore, to process connections for onshore wind, solar and battery to allow those projects in due course to compete in the first generation of the new support scheme, which will be auctions. There is a pipeline of more than 1,000 MW which people are actively working on, and we expect many of them to compete at the first auction when it is announced in the next year or two.
