My time is up now. I appreciate what the Minister said about the constraints but I would appreciate even more a response from him that would indicate that he acknowledges the constraints and will be able to ensure that figure of 11% does not get any bigger. He has just accepted it will get bigger. There does not seem to be any limit set by the Minister or his Department. By the way, it is not necessarily that he has the power to enforce it but he should have an idea in his head of what percentage of the electricity generated will be given to these data centres.
