... that is, independent power producers. About the prices of Window 1, 2 and 3, we agree that they are expensive, that's why we are negotiating with them. But if you look into the projection for Window 4, already the range is very close to being reasonable because on PV, it's around R1,08c and on Wind, it is at 87c. So, it's coming down.
Therefore, all we are saying is that: Let's talk to them because renewables are not emergency energy suppliers, they must be part of the system all the time. That's why they should be considered within the context of energy and the economy. So, the engagement with them is about that. Again, if you talk about cancellation of contracts, at this point in time, they are supplying about 4,5% of energy.
Once Window 4 gets into the stream which has already been signed, it will increase. We are projecting about 18% from renewables by 2030 in the IRP. So, we are not only looking at the price, but we are also looking at the security of supply.
