18. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if he is aware of the newly published Review of Connection Policy for Large Energy users in relation to grid connections for data centres; if he is aware of concerns that the energy regulator has that the new capacity could be taken up by data centres due to the current model of “first come first served” ; if he is aware that the CRU believes it does not have the “statutory powers to prioritise certain policy objectives”; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
