I have several questions. On the radio yesterday and again today, the Minister mentioned that contracts will be concluded in a matter of days or shortly. He indicated a figure of €350 million initially. Is he confident that this will be enough to deliver on the projects? It was reported in the Business Postlast week or the week before that, with inflation costs, committed projects are potentially at risk. Could the Minister give us some information, or as much as he can, on the number of sites we are talking about? Given the 450 MW, what is the breakdown per site? Is the timeframe for delivery within nine months? I believe I heard the Minister mention that figure before.
