I refer to your media release of 24 November 2015 titled "Battery trial leads the way for renewable future", and I ask, apart from the supply and trial of two batteries, what other elements are there in the "historic partnership" between Horizon Power and Lishen Power?

Horizon Power was poised to enter a partnership with Lishen and that partnership did not eventuate as certain conditions were not met. At the time the media statement was issued, the proposed partnership was historic due to it being the first time a relationship had been struck with a Chinese provider and Horizon Power.
