I asked something different. I was concerned that the witnesses talked about gas for all customers. How is the CRU supporting both domestic and larger customers to move away from gas and towards renewables, given the price volatility relating to gas? I accept that many people rely on gas, but we know that the price of gas is extremely volatile. What is the exit? I asked about the lowest cost and the lowest carbon. Why not make that the default? Those who want something different, such as a higher cost and higher carbon, could request it if they need to.
