Ms Aoife MacEvilly:

To put it in context, we are not in a position at this time to completely eradicate fossil fuels from our mix. At the same time, I fully acknowledge the point the Senator is making in respect of how we might impose new criteria in terms of large energy user connections. In the context of the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act, and the climate action plan for 2023 with the obligation that puts on us, we are happy to look at introducing a demand-side strategy to ensure that 30% of large demand is flexible demand. This really opens up a whole new opportunity. Perhaps it is one that we should have grasped in 2021 also but that was a different context. This is absolutely something that we are looking at now and we are engaging with the system operators.
