Thank you, Liam. I'm conscious that Janet has been very patient in being able to come back, so, Joyce, very briefly.

Okay. I will bring Liam in, and then I'll bring Joyce in, if that's okay, Joyce.

Okay. Before I bring Liam in, maybe, Huw, do you want to add a supplementary?

There are two things there—the scale and pace generally, but also, then, undergrounding. I don't know who wants to take that first.

Graham, did you want to pick up on anything?

Yes, okay. Thank you so much. We'll get on to some of the specifics now. We'll move on to Delyth.

Okay. There was a suggestion it might have been too comprehensive, actually, trying to be too broad, in the earlier session that we had. I don't know whether that's something that you share. Graham.

Yes, okay. Thank you, Peter. Liam, Graham, do you have any reflections on the deep dive generally, before we come on to some specifics?

Cynhyrchu ynni adnewyddadwy yng Nghymru – Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
There's been reference to the deep dive, clearly, and that's quite a central plank of the work that we're doing as a committee in terms of what we're looking at. I'm just interested to know whether you feel that there might be some omissions in the scope or…

And Graham.

Cynhyrchu ynni adnewyddadwy yng Nghymru – Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Sure. Thank you for that. Having that clear vision has to be based on a clear understanding of how much renewable energy we need to meet our net-zero targets for 2050 and anything else, if we want to be a net exporter or just self sufficient. I know that's…

Yes, thank you, Graham, and I appreciate, Peter, your relationship or your role in this context, is slightly different, of course, but I suppose it's maintaining those dynamic relations with Welsh Government and having that dialogue as we move forward.

Cynhyrchu ynni adnewyddadwy yng Nghymru – Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Yes, okay. There's quite a few there. Graham or Peter, would you want to add any others? Yes, Graham, first of all, then.

Croeso nôl i gyfarfod y pwyllgor. Mae'n dda gweld panel newydd gyda ni o dystion o'n blaenau ni ar gyfer yr ail sesiwn fel rhan o'r gwaith rŷn ni'n ei wneud i edrych ar ynni adnewyddadwy. Gaf i groeso—estyn croeso dylwn i ddweud—i Peter Bingham, sy'n brif…

Excellent. Well, the clock has beaten us, so apologies for that. But, I'm really grateful to you, the three of you, for the evidence you've given us this morning—it's an excellent start to our deliberations on this area. As Huw suggested earlier, I think…

Thank you, Rob. Rhys, did you want to add anything to that?

Okay. Thank you. And thank you, Joyce. We'll come on to Huw then. I think this will probably be the last few questions that we have.

Now, that's a starter for 10, if ever I heard one. It is a huge issue. I know we're up against time, but primarily what you think in terms of consenting and planning. Will.

Okay, thank you so much. Okay, we'll come on to Joyce now. We've got about eight minutes left, and I think we could probably take the whole session discussing this next area, but there we are. Joyce.
