Ms Gillian Kinsella:

Direct line or private wire, or private network as it is also known, is very important with respect to hydrogen. In the recent offshore wind policy, we have a target of 2 GW dedicated specifically for hydrogen production. The target is to have that in development by 2030. The policy indicates private wires or networks will be used to underpin that, as we understand it, due to the challenges of relying on the network for the increased capacity. We expect a consultation on that in the coming weeks. That will be of critical importance to kick-start the hydrogen market.
