So how many projects are you starting to see that are co-located? Is that, is that sort of a growing trend, or is that something that sort of hasn't really hit the PPA market yet?

Yeah.

No, I think it absolutely is a growing trend.

I think we're finding a lot more, um, operators with solar assets, um, looking at either building in batteries in the planning phase.

That's kind of the, I think, the best time to look at it, or looking at how we can kind of bolt them on later on, um, when there's maybe some grid connection capacity spare, um, or flexible grid connection throughout the day.

If they're just exporting in the middle of the day for a solar farm, a battery can kind of work outside of those parameters and, and come in as well.

The big thing we're seeing with co-location is that- There's PPA offtakers in the market that are great at off-taking renewable profiles, and then there's optimizers in the market who are absolutely fantastic at accessing all the different battery revenue streams, and there's a tiny crossover in the middle.

Why did you pick Germany as a next region to look at?

I also want to talk about Germany because you have been looking at GB, but also- Looking at Germany, why did you pick Germany as a next region to look at?

Yeah, great question.

So for RenewableXchange, we're a marketplace, so we need a high density of, uh, projects on the one side of, of, of, of generation assets that are operational, that are looking to sell power, and we need a high density of energy suppliers on the other side that are looking to buy power.
