Mr. Paddy Phelan:

The Chairman asked whether we are working together and the answer is that we are. We are in regular conversation. We represent similar sectors and for that reason, we are in regular conversation and we jointly consult and contribute on various aspects from time to time.

The Irish Energy Storage Association is an independent members' association and a company limited by guarantor. Its council is established from its membership and is run in that form. It represents energy storage separate from generation across the gambit of grid-scale storage, which is primarily what we are talking about today, and the power system with EirGrid, but also aligns with the Demand Response Association of Ireland on small-scale distribution system storage and its role in domestic and commercial storage. Significant conversations are under way to bring us even closer together in terms of work packages and workload to represent the storage industry.
