Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

In relation to PR6, as explained earlier, it is up to €18 billion. It is the biggest investment in our energy infrastructure in the history of the State. It is for the next five years and beyond. We talk about these investments in five years, but these are investments in things that will be there for the next 40 years.

What we published in May set out clearly the impact on different types of users. We have lots of different categories, from the ordinary user who may spend, according to an average bill, €1,800 a year. The average bill for a very large energy user could be anything between €7 million and €8 million. Naturally, the delta between a normal household and a business is, because of usage, is significant. Large businesses contribute a huge amount to funding the €18 billion.
