Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:

There has been a significant amount of development in the solar area recently.

To give a sense of this, at the renewable energy support scheme, RESS, 1 auction, there was about 1,031 MW. A total of 51 projects are in distribution and ten of them are with the transmission system operator, TSO, but about 500 MW of that is solar. The completion of those projects is scheduled for the end of 2023. The total solar connected at the moment amounts to 153 MW approximately. As for RESS 2, between wind and solar, there is about 2,000 MW, about 1,500 of which is solar. These are projects that have come through the connection process, whether ESB Networks or EirGrid, and then through the RESS auction. By the end of 2025, those projects that have come through that will be connected to the grid.

Turning to the smaller scale projects, a variety of microgeneration is on rooftops and there is also mini-generation and small-scale. I might pass to Mr. Duignan to comment on those areas, which are also very important.
