Mr. Joe Duignan:

There are a few elements. I might start with microgeneration, which relates to domestic houses and solar power. There has been significant development in that space in recent years. Getting a grid connection is a free process and requires a simple application form. A total of 40,000 customers are now registered with microgeneration. In the year to date, there has been a 50% increase compared with the total of 2021, so we are seeing a great deal of microgeneration. If we were to add that to mini-generation, which is up to 50 kW and for which we launched the pilot in December of last year, at the end of the year 50 MW may have been connected over the year in terms of microgeneration and mini-generation, a big increase. That is as a direct result of national policy, support schemes, Government policy and so on.

In mini-generation, which is the next stage up, we launched a pilot on that around December last year. The pilot was heavily oversubscribed and, within three or four months, we reopened and extended it and increased the number of applications from 150 to 650, and we are processing them at the moment. There is great interest in that and there has been considerable take-up. As recently as last Friday, we launched a new pilot for small-scale generation, the next stage up again. That will open to the bigger players in terms of capacity. We can see the momentum-----
