That is why Shaping our Electricity Future is the right plan because that points to where the new developments need to take place. It is grid led, not developer led. I do not think that is the developers' plan. They are not building a huge grid for the sake of it. They have actually pared back much of what their plans were. Ironically, in the Dáil Chamber a few weeks ago, TDs from the north west were decrying that we do not have enough interconnection. That has proven difficult in recent years. EirGrid has scaled back a lot of its plans to try to be really efficient because we have scarce building resources.
