Ms Karen Kavanagh:

The policy was €50 million and, as discussed, on the distribution side, there has been an error in the calculation, and we need to quantify exactly what that increment was. The Department responded to the consultation paper that we did on the tariff review. I cannot remember the total number of responses, but I think there were three respondents that raised a concern about that. It is also important to bear in mind that the national energy security framework specifically tasked us in respect of one of the actions to look at the levers within our control in order to try to mitigate the impact on customers.

That was also part of those measures. Notwithstanding the Department's comments, the commission decided to proceed with the correction on the rebalance.
