No, I do not believe it did. The rectification will similarly not benefit any company. The way we have arranged for emergency generation is time-limited and will come to an end. Plant will have to be sold on or decommissioned. While it is an unusual intervention, it is designed in such a way as not to undermine our market investment in other plant. We expect some 900 MW of plant in total to be delivered this year as backup flexible capability. That will include other private providers. It was right for Government to introduce this legislation to allow us to deliver that emergency generation capacity as a backstop guarantee to keep the lights on.
