Mr. Fintan Slye:

Our scenarios allow the effect of data centres on the grid to be teased out in a very transparent way. As the Senator said, there is a wide range between the lowest and the highest data centre. We tease out what the different scenarios mean for the energy system and this allows the conversation to happen in a transparent way. There is a wider discussion around strategic developments from the point of view of jobs and industrial development but by including the data centres in the discussion we will allow their effect on the electricity system to be seen and teased out. This will form part of the discussion for which the Senator is looking.
