Interconnection, wherever it comes from — of course, there is a North/South interconnector and another one in the planning system — gives more security of supply and also gives more opportunity for competitive prices. That can come from any direction. Ultimately, if we want to get to security of supply and security and certainty of prices for businesses and industries as well as for households, that will be achieved through renewables that are provided on the island. That is the fastest way in which we can get to that level of security and certainty of supply. Anything that contributes to that is a good thing.
