Mr. Dara Lynott:

In respect of the success, it has been very much built on a developer-led model to date. Again, in that consultation a number of models have been suggested. Most commentators have suggested that a hybrid of four potential pathways is probably the way to go forward. From an EAI point of view, we would like to see a wires-first policy and non-wire solutions after that. There is a lot to be said for it, and great work has been done in making the current system very efficient, but our report will be very clear that the current system is not suitable to meet the ambition for 2030. A significant amount of grid needs to be built. After that, an optimisation in non-wire solutions can be put in place to make the system more efficient.
