We're not necessarily developing a pipeline.
We're developing a group of projects.
So in the Irish market, we have about 1,000 megawatts of pipeline of projects coming through.
We have 600 megawatts in South Africa with planning waiting on grid connection.
And in Kenya, we have another 600 megawatts, which is at early stage development.
And obviously, the UK has become a large focus for us.
GB, and we're starting to develop a pipeline of projects there also.
Absolutely.
There are still lots of opportunities for onshore wind, for solar, for BEZ, for other things, so the technology will come along.
I'm confident of that.
You know, the development cycle on wind and renewable projects is very long.
Like, we typically take a 10-year process to develop a project, so...
Everything we do now is focused on what's going to happen in 2035, what's going to happen in 2036.
And equally, we constantly need to keep looking to the future to see what's going to be happening that 10 years out.
So I think offshore will be a feature in the Irish market, a significant feature in the Irish market in 2035.
Yeah, there are certainly some improvements.
Again, I would come back to the fact that the development cycle on a project is probably 10 years.
So, you know, four years of that is feasibility studies and environmental studies, etc.
So the change in the policy, we welcome it.
It's great.
