That is fine but many of the Deputy's colleagues have said it. Energy usage must be managed. The Deputy referred to the CRU's decision on the LEUs. That was a draft determination.

It will not be a Klondike approach but a plan-led one. That 21% is the last figure I received on energy usage. There is headroom to 30% by the end of 2030 and that relates to data centres that have existing connection agreements in place.

Our challenge now is to expand our grid further for all the development we need, to realise the potential we have in further renewables, to make our grid more resilient and to have more capacity within it. That is what PR6 will be about.
