Mr. Stephen Douglas:

As we keep saying, we need infrastructure and the projects. We need a steady drumbeat of projects to ensure there is competition in those auctions. The regulator was satisfied that there was a competitive auction for RESS 1 and the intention is to have up to four auctions. Some of them will be technology-specific. However, they need the projects behind them, so they must have the connections to the grid. We have to line up connection policy with those auctions to provide that drumbeat of projects. That is very important. We were happy with the level of competition in the first auction, the results and that those projects will be delivered, including the onshore and the solar projects. There also were seven community projects that cleared, and that is very much in line with what the Government wants.
