Mr. Mark Griffin:

Yes, the CEO of EirGrid clarified that during the hearing on 5 October 2021. He said the figure he was more comfortable in discussion because he believed it to be a far more accurate representation of the likely situation in 2030 was the 27% figure. He addressed that during the committee meeting. I cannot say precisely what he stated but the general thrust of his comments was that the figure we should focus on is the 27%, and how we deal with that.
