Mr. Jim Gannon:

We might come back to the committee with a breakdown of the number of batteries currently deployed in Ireland and the duration of those batteries. There are quite a lot of batteries that are there to respond to a system trip or emergency, which are half-hour or hour-long batteries, and they deal with a certain type of response that the system needs. There are other longer duration batteries, as mentioned by the Climate Change Advisory Council that give that sort of coverage over a peak, where perhaps they could charge overnight and then give coverage over a peak. We also need to consider those periods where it is winter and the wind can be low for a number of days in a row and solar is less than it would be in the summertime. To provide the committee with some information on the batteries as they currently stand would be helpful, but would also give the committee that sense of delivery.
