Question
- Any -
Q1. Do you believe that a connection agreement needs to be a pre-requisite for a procurement exercise? What other pre-requisites should be in place?
Q2. Do you believe hybrid connections would help expedite the delivery of long duration storage or are other factors driving the critical path?
Q3. Are there any topics that we have not included above?
Q4. If a procurement exercise is run in January 2025 will there be sufficient liquidity (i.e. projects) which have connection agreements planning etc. in place?
Q5. Is the timeline from contacts to connections here realistic?
Q6. What if any are the main blockers to achieving these timelines?
