I thank the Member for that question. I encourage everybody to look into that issue. I met representatives of a particular group that is involved in fantastic work to take renewable energy at a time when it cannot otherwise be used. As a result, a trial is ongoing, and that has been of great benefit to households that need it most. It means that surplus energy is not wasted or lost. I want to see that work being rolled out further in Northern Ireland. It is one of many things that we can do to help people and that should be done.
