And yes, as I said before, we're now at the point where the most inefficient thing you can possibly do is not act tomorrow on doing this stuff because you will actually save a significant amount of money.

Well, it's actually at the moment on the New Zealand market the complete opposite.

So it shows you there's a long way to go.

Yeah, I mean, power is more expensive in the day because that's when we use our power.

At nighttime, we don't use a whole lot of power.

So it's off-peak.

Now, what we've seen happen in Australia is huge amounts of installations go in.

Like the rooftop solar in Australia is the largest power plant in Australia by dozens of times, right?

Like it's absolutely massive now what is happening in Australia.

Yeah.

And as a result, their price during the middle of the day has gone down.

But that's resulting in a battery revolution in Australia because now you're storing that free power and then using it later when the price gets expensive again.

This whole energy system is starting to shift.

But we run a really different system here in New Zealand because we have hydro.

And our hydro can be turned up and down, unlike an Australian coal-fired power plant.

And as a result, solar is a really, really good complement for our grid energy or our generation in New Zealand.

I think the answer to this is, are prices going to remain high?

And when people ask me this question, it often comes down to, well, how fast do you think the vehicle fleet is going to electrify?

Because 80% of the energy that goes into electric vehicles comes from houses, comes from homes.

And so as long as the demand for electricity continues to go up, then the price is probably going to stay the same as well.
