Yes I get that, but even adding 15GW to current demand doesn't really move the needle as much as you'd think. I'm also not sure it will be soaked up entirely, EVs yes but heat pumps I'm not as sure about.

Depends on policy, but if policy pushes domestic gas out then heating comes form either heatpumps or resistive heating (which would be far more)
