Mr. Jim Gannon:

No. We have aspects of that. We certainly would not have the register of licences and licence conditions. That would rest with the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, where an environmental licence is required.

What we have had from the committee previously were queries on the existing numbers of data centres and also the existing numbers of data centres in a connections processor pathway. In each of those requests, we reverted to the network companies which have that information in order to get that information. The network companies, because they would be specific applications, would know the locations and the scale. They would have that granular level of data.

There is often some commercial sensitivity around those data. However, one would imagine that for those data centres in existence, there should be an understanding and an ability to find out that information and work with it.
