Dr. Liam Ryan:

To step back a little bit, first of all we are building at the grid and we will build out that grid. With respect to the local issues we have, being able to co-locate storage at the same location as where we have those excess renewables is really important. One of the Deputy's colleagues mentioned locational. That is really important for us from a system operator perspective. If we can co-locate, we can maximise the utilisation of the existing grid we have. The best way to describe the grid is by thinking about the road network. In essence, some of the asks we are being asked to do relate to where we might have lanes and byways and we are being asked to make them into motorways. That takes time and we need to invest into it. Storage is one of the items that can help that by making sure it is in the right location. We can use those circuits a lot more effectively and efficiently, and that relates to constraints. If we look at curtailment, it means only 75% of our instantaneous electricity second by second can come from non-synchronous sources like wind and solar or interconnection. Our intention is that by 2030, although it is going to be a real stretch, we will get that to 95%. Ireland is to the forefront. Currently, there is no place, to my knowledge, around the world that is operating a power system where 75% of their instantaneous electricity comes from wind and solar.
