Ms Aoife MacEvilly:

That is the subtle piece that is difficult to capture. We have asked the ESRI to do an in-depth analysis of what happened with demand over the winter. We will be able to track numbers and inform the committee of trends but it will be difficult to capture whether it was because of cost, prompts or incentives. That will always be difficult to pinpoint. There is increased awareness and willingness among customers. We do not want people to avoid using important electrical appliances because they cannot afford to. The focus over the winter was to stay warm and well and, where possible, use less. Even awareness among some customers of what appliances use a lot of electricity was important. People have been very aware of the immersion and careful with lights when lights are mostly LED and would not have been thinking about the power shower being such a drain.
