Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:

The system around connecting renewables is that in recent years there has been an annual batch where people apply to ESB Networks as the distribution system operator or to EirGrid as the transmission system operator. Those applications are then processed. As we said in our opening statement, we process approximately 70 per annum as part of that. Connection offers are then issued and they proceed beyond that if connection offers are accepted. We go into the RES option process for example or they might have separate power purchase agreements, PPAs, where they agree to sell the power and the project goes on from there. There will be considerable investment in the electricity distribution network and transmission network over the next decade and beyond to continue to have the infrastructure to hit the targets for the climate action plan and beyond that again if those targets change. There is a big target for 2030 of 17 GW, with 9 GW of onshore wind and 8 GW of solar. Today we are at about 6.4 GW and growing. We expect approximately 650 MW of large-scale projects to connect this year.
