I am anticipating that I know how that question would have concluded! This is a very important program, and, of course, I'm, as you all know, very easily distracted. It's important to point out that this program, alongside the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which has provided for 450,000 cheaper home batteries, provides 12 gigawatts of capacity. In terms of the number of batteries installed in the world, we are behind only the United States and China here in Australia, making household bills go down for the houses that install them and putting downward pressure on prices across the grid. Of course, 15 more large-scale successful energy storage projects were announced today through the Capacity Investment Scheme, $6 billion in private investment. (Time expired)
