I will try to get that information for the Deputy. I do not have it off the top of my head. My point is that some of the capital that is funding renewable projects today, helping to build an industry around renewables, is from companies looking to decarbonise their systems. That is why we saw the development of some wind projects directly linked to an individual company. When Apple wanted to build a data centre in the west, it also wanted to build a very large wind project because it wanted it to be sustainable. Other companies are doing the same thing. One ask we have in new data centre development is for companies to look at making them sustainable from a power generation perspective. Increasingly, we will see large energy users, not just data centres but high-energy manufacturing in semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, try to reduce their emissions by building a solar farm, sponsoring a wind farm, looking at an offshore project for wave, wind or tidal, etc. I see that as a good thing. It is part of building capacity in the overall renewable sector, building scale and ensuring we have an economy driven by renewable power.
