Dr. Paul McGowan:

Again, it would all depend on the siting of these offshore wind farms. If they are in very disparate locations that would drive a particular approach whereby individual connections would make sense. If, on the other hand, they were all clustered in one area, it might make more sense to take an alternative approach and connect the clusters to one hub. The key issue from our perspective is that whatever we do, there must be absolute clarity on where the developer's obligations end and the transmission system operator's obligations begin because without that, we may end up paying twice and we do not want to do that. We must be absolutely clear because the connection of offshore wind power will be, by definition, expensive.
