Do you believe NESO when they say that the Offers to Connect (to the grid) are four times what is required to meet decarbonisation of the grid by 2030?

That alone, assuming it's true, suggests that generation is too lucrative.  Which prima facie is at variance with zero bids for a windrarm licence call about 2 years ago.  What's changed, or are we getting too many bids for the wrong kind (IE time characteristics) of generation

[...] consent is often  refused for energy projects. 

[...] What always seems to be missing is sense of urgency. 

Do you there should be urgency to grant consent for more energy generation and storage sites?

Do you have data or evidence to underpin that?

In general, in order for the market to work and drive prices down, oversupply is required, so the more get closer to the finishing line, the better. 

As for evidence:

Just to have a power transformation station to bring offshore wind power to Suffolk, 500 documents on various studies were needed. I am not even sure if building started! 

When I talk about lack of sense of urgency, I am thinking about this type of example!

Yes, but at the end of the day, NESO has a role to work with the market and with the uncertainty of the planning processes...

I am not familiar with what "offers to connect" means. Is that a commitment? And what % of these projects would have started building?
