Sure.

So West Wales is a flagship project.

It's one of the first Har1 projects in the UK to achieve FID and the first hydrogen gas project finance deal in Europe.

It will be built on a former oil refinery site in Milford Haven.

So there's a great story there in terms of repurposing existing or legacy hydrocarbon assets in a way that supports the energy transition and also supporting employment and skills in the region.
