That is all right. Deputy Matthews is welcome to the committee. I know he is sometimes torn because of chairing his own.

I thank the witnesses this morning for their insightful input into energy storage. It has been beneficial for the committee to hear about various new, or not so new, technologies, but which are new in the marketplace. I found it informative. Deputy Matthews touched on EVs.

It is one of the biggest challenges, steering a little bit away from energy storage but maybe energy storage can provide some of the solutions. I would be interested in the panel's view on this. Could energy storage play a part in increasing the potential for charging points around the country?
