tv   Blackout in Germany  Deutsche Welle  September 3, 2023 9:15pm-9:59pm CEST

9:15 pm
and that is all for now, coming up next on the channel. it is a document tray on germany's transition to green energy and the challenges if pauses to politics and society, that's all for now. i'm anthony. how'd i'll be back in 45 minutes time with another both till then. choose the . you'll see about the video that goes to the media. may google, google, i've got that done, but again, i will stop into that and i'll give you the order with a mature lit up joe media dog comment key people, the world wide incentive of the job you ever use a minute? they can t mess with the how do you find out about on the story in for my friends
9:16 pm
the, the power is out on the country. it's a black house like, oh this, it was a little the blackouts are serious. we hope they never happen, but they could my thought, the income, the it's a blackout. how say you over now to are you for a long time? more and more people in germany, fee of this, alexander holland, housing has noticed that he sells backup generations. demand has been growing, and not just since the start of the war and ukraine. we have some light. it's like under the states in the past 2 years, this has been increasing steadily. but in the past few months, it's going up shop late on the growth of more than a 100 percent. the demand is definitely the compared to the previous. it's going
9:17 pm
off by more than 100 sentence, which the 2 other people little worried about, such horace scenarios. who is it? that's preparing for a complete collapse, the electricity supply vehicle has been timeouts into all these all into niema. we've got the dentist, the veterinarian and company, i know the so across section of society, the number of people who are simply worried this suffering now under the energy transition. that's what i want to be equivalent. cool. and then there are also very special custom is i want to make a secret of it. i don't even want to be ready for any eventuality. that's quite well. it's really just normal. people like us got some of them in the, the calling housing is customers spend about 3000 euros on average for the generation. that's a lot of money for back up in case of a policy. yep. and as the less harling housing can barely keep up with the sales
9:18 pm
guy, similar to how can i help you? what would you like to run for emergency power for the evening? when does more than what else is fine, then 2 or 3 features. that's all central, right? so you want an emergency power supply for the house along. exactly. so for when food in the store when, where it comes to worst, when the lights go out, i can still hear you say those 2 items. i got a bit of blackout anxiety, longer manage those locals and thousands of times to use. i'd like to be independent. i don't have confidence in the governments energy policies anymore. calling housing has calls like these all the time. yeah. as a physically. so what else do you like to know police? yes, it's really true. people are afraid that the energy transition will lead to shortages in power supply light of the policies and leading to major uncertainty. given that people want to protect themselves on the edge of henry mosley starting off, obviously. yon hagan that is economist activist. the 43 year old i t specialist as
9:19 pm
even made a jo about if his passion he's got he's done climate blog. he doesn't see blackouts as a risk. instead, it's all about climate change that he said, we want to achieve germany. time it targets, we really need to move and expand renewables right away and advance all the technologies you need. so everything is electric and we don't use electricity for today. we still band gas oil and code if i put in making the energy transition a priority. but despite the new government things and not moving fast enough, you can big is the it's clearly in the right direction. but if i could make a wish, i'd still say everything twice as possible, twice as much with twice the motivation. which of yes, how old shaw says a completely different view points? the professor of energy distribution and high voltage technology and called post says relying on renewables alone is role the sun, for example, comp, supply electricity. without interruption, he says,
9:20 pm
furnace should supply social tags. so p v for sure was old last if he is 0, what i because it's dark during the day in winter, it's mainly dark. that means p b as in a short output of 0 percent with an a should output means energy generation by simple power plants, which is nearly always available. coal nuclear and gas find power plants above food and hydro electric sources provide a high level of assured output, wind energy, and photovoltaics by contrast, have no assured output. i can't establish a secure supply with that. there are lots of when the days i can use that, but then there are calm days and the question then is always what do i do? i can build wind and p b as long as i want do, but a short output times of 0 percent to one present. as you know nothing. the scientist says it's clear when there's something known as a dual cool slow so, so no lice or wind. then supplying electricity gets problematic. it's been since
9:21 pm
these are believe that the flow of the how much to keep this loss. why is that when you've got this renown, don't go flowed to. there's neither p v nor winds generation that's always going to get. and if you take away all the conventional power generation like nuclear lake, 90 hard cold, and then there's nothing left for germany to supply itself with power from domestic sources always supposed to on the protocol, flowed in the times when there's no sun, the wind faces the biggest threat to power generation, netflix, not scare tactics, but realities. between 20152020 alone there was 3 phases in which renewable energy supply less than 20 percent of what it was supposed to. and that for more than 200 hours the time. that's more
9:22 pm
than 8 days. claudia came 1st and the energy economist at the gym and institute of economic research says the threats is red and manageable. the had once said, we've taken a really close look at the scenario and there are 2 weeks in january when that kind of tough with this little solar and wind energy. and you've got to prepare for that problem in energy terminology. we call those flexibility options. the system has really high fluctuations here, and it's not analog, but digital. very small, some very flexible, and it works the tools we need to know. a digital smash, flexible electric power system. that sounds good, but we have one already. the scripts not it doesn't exist yet. we need to invest and it sets up the system quickly. so we'll always have supply securities along side. then we'll have to get to the point you could say, which is if you've decided to jump out of an airplane, and on the way down, you all start to discuss how you're going to make the power shooting. you've got
9:23 pm
the material and ideas and on the weight down you keep telling yourselves up to now it has always been fine and everything is okay. that goes well for a while. the in the control center, the transmission system operation, i'm pre own. they try to keep the network stable, that only woods wind power generation in consumption, always exactly the same level. otherwise, in the worst case, a blackout logic a before the energy transition, it was simple. fossil fuels fired power plants always deliver the exact, the amount of energy consumed. today, wind turbines and solar modules provide energy to that makes it more complicated because sometimes there's wind and sunshine. and sometimes there is nicholas
9:24 pm
frequency drops if renewables like wind in solar and that you have a lot and it will cooperate and then has to bring conventional power plants online to restore the balance. but it is a gale blowing on the coast. then the break frequency control has dangerously in del steel, theresa would have the wind turbine stopped. fluctuation of network frequency must be minimized. otherwise, the net was collapse for that in a given, the longer needed what so you wouldn't be follow the energy transition. the situations could be timed back to meaning generation was oriented precisely to consumption of the vehicle. the whole thing has become the final complex involved a time since the energy transition. the network situation change is much more frequently in the meantime, several daily interventions to guarantee network security become almost routine. and so the velocity intervention also means firing up conventional power plants. the more or more of these power produces for the shoot out portions supposed to be
9:25 pm
shut down soon. ready quite a longer don't call slash and then perhaps lead to a blackout. says yes, it is incomplete. that's a complex question. that's not so easy to while. so with just a sentence of college, all bands transmission system operators isn't a guarantee and ensure security of supplying grants, the task of the ministry of economics within the federal network agency, although it's not up to the transmission system operates um, but of course, well, point out developments and undesirable trying them become open in spanish within its way continually speaking with the transmission of system operators. and that's a conservative attack. died by the transition system operate is job has always been able to back up and have to have a safety level. and another off to that, and that in that respect and the mindset of many people in the world network tends
9:26 pm
to be very security oriented designs. but the former junior economics minister knows the without conventional power plants, secure energy supplies could become skids in there. that's why why 2030 web building additional natural gas, 5 health plans to guarantee secure supplies, even without coal fired plants. and we'll achieve that because we go to precise audio and talk to the providers. and just with you, how many new gas fired power plants would have to be built quickly? now, the number of analyses have shown that it is, in fact, between 23 and 43 gigawatts of outputs. that's dozens of new gas find power plants that any right, who's going to build them? and what kind of gas will be used to operate the, to the head of the german central association of the energy and also industry and
9:27 pm
form. a green politician says all those problems a solvable this get guns, entrance even just because they're all very intensive discussions with no way. i'm sol, susan european countries couldn't escape the results with saudi arabia. as all the world is pretty big, when it comes to this, there are many supply opens unit times. we know we need these pallets not someone to so we're working within an investment frameworks that will enable it to see more of a mattress country of ideas. but nothing really concrete, appropriate urgently needed investment of framework. the energy transition is, according to the 8th, the institute between $500.00 page in us and moles and st. trinity in your eyes. and that will have an impact on electricity prices. power will become increasingly expensive. the, even now germany has the highest price for electricity worldwide. while jimmy
9:28 pm
consumers pay around city to euro cents per kilowatt hour, electricity is far cheaper in other countries. the federal orders had the blended originals, holes has quickly said process may not rise. otherwise, the energy transition will post a threat to social stability in germany. left out for governors because it says most defects according to law. the supply of electricity must be secure, but it was so affordable and reasonably priced. the development of costs of that puts us 1st in europe, of course, has impact on private households and small and medium sized companies. there's a whole huge cost factors that have to be don't talk to, and it's important that society isn't of a bad just because they're just a huge product overwhelmed by high electricity prices. the mid sized companies
9:29 pm
sharing on hassle is located nearby piedmont. they made the products needed for the energy transition. special couple last winter bonds, power lines, and electric cars. the electricity intensive processing of the metal in the meantime has left the company facing huge costs and try their energy costs. and i'm here share of energy costs, and the manufacturing process is very high. and the higher the energy costs rise, the more critical the share becomes the then that's really worrying us. that's because in the end, that means the products we need to achieve, the energy transition will no longer be able to be made in europe. and especially in germany, then the wind turbines will come from asia as, as in to stabilize spending on energy, many electricity intensive companies. a working with external energy costs manages like view and for each company, bonds, electricity, and gas on the wholesale market. on behalf of mid sized enterprises. he says hi jim
9:30 pm
and electricity costs even damaged the climate via of point a who and in a game provides. and these are that to us when we no longer competitive due to high energy prices, then business shifts to asia in china. that means that, well, the leading products made here with minimal emissions, medium of being manufactured in countries with much higher emissions and much greater environmental damage, one or whoever, the one that's on, but the high cost of the biggest problem. so companies by far, much worse is the power outage is happening more, more frequently high. so since it's because of the energy transition, the list is arms and for the mission that's simple. but in terms of the stuff, my biggest concern is that the stability of the energy supply is becoming increasingly worse eyes. there are milli seconds long outages. they're not even recorded in figures, but for us it means a 3 day processing stand still. and this is brad tag, or steve, you must,
9:31 pm
we have to reset all the machines again and painstakingly clean them. and before you know what our costs are in the region of 6 figures, 5 and what so comes exceeding that ice officially. germany occupies of 12 position in terms of the reliability of its power supply. a couple of process. it doesn't benefit from this because the outages of less than 3 minutes don't show up in the statistics the whole say they gave an energy transition is really lacking a stringent scientific plan based on physics and electrical engineering. it's become found too much of a political and ideological playground where things are designed it electrically and ideologically. as a consequence of the energy transition, power consumption in germany is going to rise clearly by 2030 electric cars and electricity intensive heat pumps, for example, will contribute to the economics ministry is aware of this
9:32 pm
is tim vince was efficient on top of all. hum. this is true, will have additional power consumption to put the full costs of, say, around $50.00 or 60 percent more. then today, this additional electricity will be generated by wind turbines and solar power plants from germany. now, what? we're getting everything ready now, so we can get to percent of the countries surface area as the wind energy of 5 into off. so additionally we'll pull out all the stops with offshore wind in gym and it's close to what is for them. and then we've got lots of solar energy to add a. finally, this cooperation without name is going to unfold. electricity, germany needs can be produced in this way. the sun cost escape from the ones that same principle. there are many great ideas that can all be implemented in terms of your technical feasibility. i've no reservations, it can be done, but it's simply cost. it's an incredible amount of money and takes a long, long time. it's like there's not too much time left because it's not just the gym
9:33 pm
and use electricity consumption. that's to become green with an if you use all the energy for industry and consume, it should be produced in a fully climate unit for way in the near future. heavy industry consume is comic is own of the energy the gym, the consumes today in the form of coal. oil gas for gasoline is to soon be replaced by green electricity. only about 16 percent of what's known as primary energy consumption comes from renewable sources. at the moment, nearly 84 percent of chimney's energy demand is still consumed in the form of fossil fuels such as oil comb. oh gas. my comparison nearly $30000.00 winter bonds in germany supply just about 4 percent of the energy that germany needs in total. and 1st of all takes only contributors about 1.5 percent to the energy supply in germany.
9:34 pm
despite the say, bring figures into in certain times that diversity on hate and the type of solution is primary energy useful drop in future p me and a d. is that same primary energy is something we waste of on solve in germany. if we look at a power plant, the steam coming out at the top is the primary energy with an internal combustion engine. i'm 75 percent of the heat goes on, use them out the heat zones. so when we shift will consume fall last primary energy man. when all energy use to switch to climate friendly electricity, every state will become more efficient. he would be assessed and would fix hoffen, this skeptical at the because chemical complex and the world around $40000.00 people work in 2000 and buildings in factories. the company produces plastics. personalizes and the chemical pre cost is for other industries. its energy use is
9:35 pm
moment 3 on san gas power plants from around the clock. switching over the production here to climate neutral electricity. that's barely conceivable. of this of the demons which ones are gonna follow automatically so you can't lose sight of the scale. today we use around 6 terrel what hours at the 2 weeks, often site to dispatch about one percent of the country's energy consumption. if we take everything we feed and run now with fossil fuels and transition that electrify, we'd use 3 times the amount of renewable electricity here. if all the chemical plants in germany were likewise electrified, we'd have energy consumption at around $600.00 carol white hours, meaning just the chemical industry would consume as much electricity as all of germany does today. so just to electrify the chemical industry, the power consumption in gemini, would have to double and on top of that,
9:36 pm
all the other industrial sectors, the whole transportation sector, agriculture and teasing both need clean electricity and fox. and it's a fast sort of app to decades off to the energy transition. ok, even half of this is green at all about our school renewable electricity will only be part of the solution. we have to import renewable energy and hydrogen from other countries and distributed in europe in germany. so we'll need pipelines for that says you can't deliver it with trucks. and so you have to plan and invest in hydrogen pipelines. we must start to now. so when we need the hydrogen in a few years, we'll also be able to transport the whole country is to be electrified, unimaginable amounts of green hydrogen will be used. it will be a whole hydrogen economy that today doesn't even exist in pots. kind of be developed in just a few years. that's really shopping with best buy the mindset top of course we
9:37 pm
manage it in mind because we have a different mindset of who will be. but we can go on planning construction projects on germany with the minds that we've had for the last 30 years and instruct. in other words, this isn't still got 21. ok, or question of building the building and forth on the tesla mindset is what must carry to rise to come in is the time that means within 2 years things will be planned on building and approved about then it will what we've done, the data economist, the co pay doesn't see it, the test, the mindset is the key to energy transition success. he says, facing the benefits of the green energy is like a relief just don't for other estimation, the disclose the old. we're not taking a little game in the mission of their stock on the discussion of green technologies is strongly reminiscent of science fiction electorate. yes, i me, mind taking hopes are awakened that have a certain romance with technology, which i actually saw from physical reality in by the hydrogen strategy conte work.
9:38 pm
and then because of the surface areas, we need to produce so much energy, but also the ones we need to produce hydrogen, then we don't have the spaces. so it will be closed to access the space in the global south park and build wind box and photovoltaic feel is to have done that. but then we'll have to build a hydrogen industry from the ground up and then and finally invent completely new types of logistics to get the hydrogen produced that the drum and start fence of a sudden the alexander holling housing is delivering again. joe, if his customers are ready to bet that the power grids are on the verge of collapse, smith, the less many believe it is possible. the
9:39 pm
veterinary and kind of how much wants to protect himself. which of these, for you to sort of voice. just imagine the following situation. i'm in the operating room, it's the same in the hospital during surgery. they all have an emergency generator, and so i've never believed in those before. but if i'm suddenly find yourself in the dark during surgery, that's not an experience you want to have this thing. of course, it's an additional bit of security for me. i just want to have it easy as my conscience that i've done everything necessary on how to be eclipse for an emergency is would several 1000 euros to the veterinary and because just a short power outage, you could really cost him money. i can always go, i've got the products that need cooling and also vaccines, and there can be any interruption and refrigeration booth a refrigerator can keep stuff cool for maybe 5 hours. i have as
9:40 pm
a monitor on it and it's linked to my computer via a data log. oh and if the veterinary inspectors come and say refrigeration was interrupted, i've lost a few 1000 bureaus and vaccine center. but that can't happen. it doesn't seem proposing all in stuff like the statements for, for the non 5 or 7 years ago. we sold quite a few small generate is younger than the kind used for hobbies, caravans campaigns and all sorts of things, all outdoor activities and the lighting to the trend now is heading towards household emergency, power supplies and for local egos. naturally, they're afraid of palestine is really been all stuffed up. the blinds copy up into the air conditioner. quits of the heat goes off and stuff like that. last what his gym and his biggest power outage since the end of world war 2. he wants to land in 2005 heavy snow took down dozens of high voltage pilots. around
9:41 pm
250000 households without power for up to 6 days. most didn't have hate eyes of the berlin district as clipping equal to full taste of a black house in february 2019. when an excavation of 72 electric cables on a construction such, suddenly over lights went house around 31000 households had no electricity for a day. and the house for you to assure was the fire prevention director of the building and fire department back then. the use the research, the consequences of a blackout for bullying. this one does cause issues for today's gun when indian. okay. and how isn't it naturally against, particularly with critical when you've got hospitals that have emergency power supplies and then suddenly something goes wrong, especially if that's what happened at the hospital and coping x and coop, nick plus here at the brits, which is now after around 4 hours the emergency generators cut out,
9:42 pm
then things got really stressful because the $23.00 intensive care patients had to be moved on. the double conceive puts in and then so we needed to call on 23 doctors and specialized in critical care. it was a particularly dicey situation that you just need to let see. oh no. luckily, the fire department was able to move patients quickly to hospitals, but still had power. but what would happen if only the and had a black house and for a long time period to be able to split types because was, was flushed and kind of in billing. if you had to be the most brutal type of chaos imaginable, believe it for a living where without power for a longer period, then you'd have to evacuate berlin. they probably just have an emergency crew here . police would monitor in the area, but it wouldn't be possible to live safely here anymore. we wouldn't be able to handle a major longer lasting power failure on our own. support would have to come from outside and a lot of it. and so i say if you comment until the end taken the disability,
9:43 pm
and if you transition will close the blackout because it has to power plants, the fuse them. i know a few course told them it's by that. and we still have a lot of coal fired power online because we're always cautious on that. in general, germany is one of the most cautious countries imaginable. accounts, imagine someone coming along and saying, okay, let me just jump this one down. it will work out ok for this to the always to cancel for that all the problems. so i thought basic truck, so i, we need all show and on show and so to electricity, because by compliment each other so well. offshore, of course, has the big advantage that it's so when do you see that it comes close to the face low to going class problem in that sense? it's a stupid component and typing through pop hours time. offshore wind turbines to fly around twice as much electricity as they come to pods on land. thousands of them are to be built in the north sea and the phone 6 by 2030. the next issue with the energy transition is the power isn't being produced where it's needed. the real
9:44 pm
energy hungry industry is located above own, in southern germany. so new power lines must be built. lots of them. the federal net was agency estimates, the total of around 14000 kilometers of power line must either be to new or expanded. otherwise the energy transition will fail the email, but i mean, the last few years we've been shifting from conventional generations. so gas colon to nuclear, into renewable energy is the bottom, and that's the from the can see much coal power plants and the ryan land and roof valley. we're located, the can see him is open in the future who have wind turbines. and as we can see already, primarily in the north save, we need to cross long stretches to transport the pallet up. and to do that, we need to expand the grid. well, within that 1st round, thousands of pylons have to be built into and thousands of columbus has
9:45 pm
a power line installed. it's a gas gauge on task. instead of the problem is tesla months. this year this plan to use something else above the gym and bureaucracy. we certainly can meanwhile, getting approval. we certainly added a lot to the project. we faced extremely high demands for impact studies on the bases and major conservation of course, but also in terms of residential and environmental protection. i'll be glad to weigh that off as lots of studies, and that takes time side. the need to expand to create has been known for years. very little was going on for a long time. that's why most of the expansion is still not i'm still a line in the country on a line has a network volume of 4000 kilometers and which is creepy. towards having $1000.00 is finished. right. the most today around 3000 kilometers is still in the process of being approved. especially if it be in colorado is we?
9:46 pm
i'd certainly like for the shift on those actually slightly behind schedule to come on instead of 2025 or to be 2027 to combust refunded item. i'm not and it's not just and pre owned that's delayed building. it was a parade, has had similar trump of money around 2000 of the 14000 kilometers. they've finished. that's cause dramatic consequences. if there's too much wind on the coast, the power line capacity frequently con, handle it the to that trips, the warning lights in the network control room and pre owned that shows there were dangerous bottlenecks in the great field business that we need to run the network at higher and higher capacity, so we're pushing it closer and closer to it. safety limits for comparison. it's like standing on a train platform and getting closer and closer to the engineer and put some up like
9:47 pm
i want to be a nobody at all. once a blackout and but if they keep ignoring the physics at some point, it's going to get difficult to them. but no one can say when you have the point is simply, it's becoming more likely because there's been a clear increase in the number of network interventions where the frequency must be massively supported. it's the number of series incidents has also clearly increased out. we all hope that it never happens, but the problem ability is very, very high that it actually could and doesn't front of my policy. and the 15 is a blackout just as a law msm albrecht. and brenda was buildings by a cheese and president of the federal agency for the technical relief piece of preparedness x, the base, the 1st to the next young can also as foremost fall i see that in the coming use that will be just the type is power fan,
9:48 pm
your old black house that would dock and not just a straight to neighborhood, but several gym in states for a new member countries. and it won't be resolved in a few hours. instead of it will unfortunately take a few ways to live on top of all of a very little in modern society works without for electricity. jim, and you would hardly be prepared for that. the key of a sewage systems won't work anymore because the thumping stations are electric telephones where i work off to 2 hours and they smell the pessimistic version from psychologist it is that simple world like situations we've developed quickly because you wouldn't be able to get money anyone with that cash can't buy anything . you've just got to imagine those things and what they mean, no electricity life, we just come to a stand alone
9:49 pm
power failure would be a harsher present co cottage as well. if the worst happens, he wants to at least power his refrigerator is the monthly fee of fight it down. for me, i can live, you should definitely think about this because the energy transition is now being felt intensively. even if things turn out differently, you'll definitely feel better about it today. how about fuels? can it run on rape, c o l d 's is all 5. and can know as or not i makes the oil is it'd be far out to fix. probably diluted events, it will work out of penetrating old fight and lack of gain buying, emergency generation for blackouts. is that proven cross of preparation or just panic? the list, even the federal government has now calling on businesses to find the backup generators in case of possible shortages this get. there are lots of people who are
9:50 pm
afraid right now. so should on social media, there are many shap picks to say next when to everything he's going to be dock and cold. and i think that it's a loss of confidence by cause the issue has been reported to dad, so i get it pushed in the activist has less understanding for the many barriers. the energy transition still faces dr. and how many of you right now, we have fall to few band trace to even combo just one winter. since we do, little less happened that already. we're pretty empty hand it long goals. energy storage, enormous batteries, for example, what's are known as pump storage, power plants. they can be deployed when renewables. god provide enough power and help tools. the apply counts. but in germany isn't in such bad shape when it comes to energy storage. says energy economist, cloudy, attempted escape. there are lots of storage types, so we've got it produces precisely 50 megawatts of output,
9:51 pm
the leak not 5 power planted shots upon for by comparison pump south 1600 megawatts the pump storage power plant. so then vasa, $2.00 and $2.00 and can also store energy. and there's plenty available, for example, from renewables for fluids pumped from the song, the rid of the, to the top base and it this to listen to electricity. the water flows from the upper basin via to bind some back into the solemn, and that generates energy hold and 70 percent of the energy deployed to pump the water up can be re gained in this way. and pump supplies across the road isn't going to go by that there's some pump storage and how plant is the technology that's also capable of really storage and large masses
9:52 pm
of energy. that's already a decisive characteristic. give you a lot smaller. is that the specifics of the plants guarantee that we can switch on and off in no time at all in regards to allowing us to react fos to volatility and fluctuations in degree until 5 o'clock young to 60 year old turbines are new to few minutes to get up to full output. they help very quickly to stabilize the network. for example, if renewables pro fault but the output of who involved a to is also limited from the 2 generates 320 megawatts. linked with the other base and with 3000000 cubic meters. so we could theoretically supply electricity to $25000.00 households for away would not be for full. but in order to provide electricity for a waste, you and you're doing cool, salsa, hundreds of pump storage power plants like who involved to, to will be needed. there's a new, around 50 of them in order of germany. it's
9:53 pm
a stock, nothing more, lloyd and endorsement germany. today, we've got 40 gigawatt hours of storage capacity with these 40 gigawatts, depending on how the electricity consumption is. we could supply the country with electricity for 30 to 60 minutes. and then we noticed that if a don't close out to last week, then we're not really advancing. so what i need is always these vital v v v that we see have the development of storage capacity is running automatically to law every 2nd tv system. and that is built into a single family home license already has the storage attached and that increases quickly. besides its full cost will be 50000000 electric costs by 2030. and that will have a big storage capacity. and we've got the challenge that there's something in the house, so the garage and that has to be connected with the whole system because i'm, we're working on that on an item via is this an acute need for electricity then use the batteries of private electric cars and tap into the solar energy storage of
9:54 pm
