What the CRU is actually looking at is the short-term security of supply where the grid structure is not up to peak demands.
There has been no consideration of the overall energy demand across the nation, as such. This is very much focused on the gaps in the grid, as opposed to the risks associated with the exponential growth in demand for energy from data centres. Is that correct?
