I understand that there are low, medium and high predictions and modelling. Is it not worthwhile incorporating into that what the maximum is, and what all these data centres are using? I know Mr. Foley is saying that is not going to happen, but it is my understanding that all these data centres could access that energy with no additional permissions required or anything like that. They are "entitled" to access that energy, up to 2,300 MVA.
