I thank the Member for her question. Clearly, the Department recognises the challenges that exist in delivering on its energy targets, and we have taken significant action already. The Member will be aware of the energy strategy that was published in the previous mandate and of the action plans that have been delivered since then. As I said, it is a key priority of my economic mission, and we need to ensure that we are taking appropriate steps. I recognise the issues relating to interconnection. As the Member is probably aware, the Department has commissioned research into energy storage policy and interconnection. We are due to receive that in April, and it will help to inform our way forward from a policy perspective.
