My question is to Senator Birmingham, the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Energy. I congratulate him on his promotion. It's good to finally see a South Australian in a leadership position in the Senate Liberals.

On 16 March last year, Minister Frydenberg announced: 'Australia's first virtual power plant goes live in South Australia.' The minister said that the $20 million project, combining solar panels and batteries in 1,000 residential and business premises to build a five-megawatt power station, would 'lower power bills, reduce emissions and provide stability'. How many megawatts of electricity has the project delivered?
