Ms Mary Rose Burke:

I will respond to the Deputy’s question about electricity. The primary objective for us is getting sufficient generation and transmission networks built around the country to support the ambitious growth plans for this economy. We are not necessarily looking at exporting electricity; we are a long way from that. One of the biggest cost drivers is that we import most of our electricity. Yet, we are the slowest at consenting for new solar or new wind energy. My colleague mentioned the issue of regulatory overlap and the sequential nature of consenting rather than it being done concurrently. If we change some of that overlap and make sure there is a streamlined process of consenting, it will make a big difference as we seek to become less reliant on imported energy.
