I have a brief follow-up question on night-time rates. Could the witnesses correct me if I am wrong, to the best of their knowledge? I appreciate that there are different businesses within the ESB group. Am I correct that the day rate of the split-rate packages is higher than some of the 24-hour rates that are available? Is it not something of a disincentive to homeowners to switch to dual rates because they are being charged more during the day for domestic uses?
