Yeah, Matt, the regulator for the electricity and energy and gas sector announced today that the network charges is what they're called.

It's out of date.

Plus, we have big demand from industry, data centers.

We're going to have to pay an extra €41 over the next year from October.

An extra €41.

This is on top of €500 on average, the average bill.

This is kind of rounded now because...

it's charged differently depending on your supplier.

But typically, your household bill over a year, you're spending about €500 of your bill goes on network charges.

Another €41 is going on that.

So you're talking about close to €550 in network charges.

So that's the cost to fund these increases in the spending on the transmission grid, the substations, etc.

We're absolutely clobbered in this country when it comes to electricity, Matt.
