Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:
I am not able to comment on that. Data centres, as a component of overall demand in terawatt hours, account for roughly 23% of total demand and they are heading towards something like 30% at the end of the decade. My colleagues in EirGrid might be able to comment on this. About 40% of end-user consumption is from renewables. Other witnesses might be able to give more accurate figures on that, but that is approximately what they are.
