So that's the math and it varies a little bit country by country.
22:31
If you already have the grid connection, you have the solar park behind it, then you want to invest in a battery.
22:37
Maybe you would have to wait in queue for a long time to create a grid connection for a standalone asset.
22:42
So one benefit is, of course, putting it there because of that.
22:45
Then you can save on the capex.
22:46
And of course, if the grid is not too constrained or you are not limited too much, then the revenue potential doesn't suffer that much from putting the battery behind the same connection point as the solar farm.
22:59
But what Ville mentioned there is that we see that the co-location wave has now started and it will continue in massive scale.
24:25
When you co-locate with batteries, extra factors come into
1:47
So I think before we delve into the discussion, uh, for those listeners who might not be familiar with the topic, can you explain what a battery asset trader actually does?
1:59
First of all, thank you for the opportunity to be here.
2:01
What does battery storage system trader optimizer do? Before answering that question, I think that we have to go back a bit.
2:09
So why are batteries needed, uh, for the green energy transition? And why is the build-out so rapid right now? And how do batteries benefit the grid and, and earn from it at the same time as well? So because we are building so much wind power and solar power, so clean energy, which is a great thing, there is also a challenge that emerges.
2:29
And the challenge is that it's weather-dependent production, intermittent production.
2:35
So when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing, uh, there is lots of production.
2:39
Um, and when not, of course, then the production drops, and it can drop quite drastically.

So how does that influence the space?
