I wish to follow up on questions that were asked earlier and I am seeking only "Yes" or "No" answers. In regard to opting in to the smart meters, will the portal be available as a phone app? In Britain and other countries, people can use a tablet or screen to see their usage live. Will it be as accessible as possible? I do not want people to have to log on to websites and key in passwords every time they want to view their usage.

Our guests stated that hundreds of megawatts of batteries are coming onto the system. When I met representatives of Energy Storage Ireland, they stated that the grid would require a software update to facilitate the likes of multi-hour or multi-day batteries.

Has that happened? In Britain, energy batteries of that size are displacing gas-powered generation.
