On the question of the language of minimising where possible, the legal position is currently subject to review, hence my colleague's comments.

As regards compensation for reducing demand and the effect new data centres might have on the demand versus generation mix, there are two things. In our proposed decision, we have proposed data centres which bring a certain quantity of demand would bring an equivalent amount of generation. Speaking broadly, there would be a neutral demand versus supply balance.
