00:00I think one of the main takeaways from today and something that was shared between everyone,
00:05particularly the challenges that we all face with procuring power, getting power to site
00:10in a good timeline and a timeline that is balanced and matches the planning timelines
00:15and all the other programming elements of a development.
00:20The main thing that came out today is there's a lot of uncertainty.
00:24We don't know when power is going to be available and whether those milestones are going to
00:28be missed or pushed backwards.
00:31There's a lack of control, really, from our perspective.
00:34A lot of the onus is on the DNOs themselves and National Grid and then government.
00:39A lot is being done to move this forward and try and solve this solution, but is it a little
00:43too little too late?
00:46What can we do about that and feel a little bit more energy independent and in more control
00:52of this power situation?
