Firstly, you must
remember as we seat here today that renewables do not have the baseline capacity. They don't have it. They give you energy on availability. What is thought to be a solution to that, but not immediately, is the development of the battle storage technology. Once you have it, you will go a long way in addressing the base load problem.
Now, as I said earlier, some people are always shouting at me about when do I declare Bid Window 5, but I say, I don't want Bid Window 5, I want renewables to be part of the system in the long term. I also tell them to be ready for Bid Window 27 if need be. But the most important thing is that, the reason that we give you an energy mix proposal is that we don't want to have a total fail option because we are not like Germany which have France as a neighbour, where they don't have the baseline, they can get it from the nuclear energy in France.
We don't have that neighbour. That is why we should move correctly...
