Plus, of course, the benefit to the climate and the environment more generally.

we pay renewable sources not to generate energy whilst we pay to- They get paid for their generation, whether we use it or not.

That's the nature of the contract.

That doesn't seem very efficient.

So that- Like a wasted energy.

Yeah, and the original, when that transition started, there was lots of spare capacity in the network.

So it's just like, let's get this stuff built.

And what we're now doing is accelerating, and have been for some years, accelerating the build of electricity transmission capability.

That's the big sort of,

if you like, the biggest cables that run up and down the country and carry that power exactly from places like the north of Scotland or the North Sea to the main centres of demand, which are the cities and primarily southern Britain, where more of the population live.

So that investment is now happening at speed and at pace.

And Ofgem has been trying to make sure that happens at the fastest possible speed.

That will increase our...

network charges as a result, but it will enable us to make better use of all those renewable resources.

And so overall, it balances out and keeps costs lower.

So I think we already have or have in train all the technologies that we would need to get to that net zero energy system.

The critical thing for us as a country is what do we do when the wind's not blowing in the middle of winter and it's cold?

It's winter, so you're not getting much solar.

It's cold, so quite high demand.

Wind's not blowing.
