Dr. Fergus Sharkey:

That feeds down then into all of our targets. However, give or take our targets, obviously, we can only achieve what we are given in grant funding. Each grant funding we expend delivers an emission saving but generally, we are talking about this. In the last 30 years, we had targets in and around 100 kilotonnes or 0.1 million tonnes. In some years, such as 2021, we exceeded that. We are a bit behind in 2022. However, we also have other targets, like Skillnet, for how many businesses to engage. We have to look at it as a funnel whereby if we can get X number of businesses training and Y amount of businesses into an audit, that will mean we can get Z number of businesses to invest in energy efficiency and decarbonisation. We do, therefore, have a huge number of targets there.

The Senator talked about the registers and counties. Our registers are counties served, in the main, but there is obviously information about where the companies are based within the registers as well.
