When Mr. Walsh comes back in, related to what Deputy Ó Cuív has just said, I recall a number of years ago a pilot being done with Glen Dimplex quantum storage heaters. They allow for electricity in and electricity out and can be controlled remotely. They require broadband as well, of course. It might be an issue worth exploring, however, in terms of providing storage on the islands in specific heaters in everyone's own homes. It might be a unique way to manage the excess electricity.
