You're in for it now gerd, the cut & pasters don't like being challenged!

"there are at the moment 240,000 telecom towers in South Africa"

"sub-Saharan Africa has over 240,000 telecom towers"

One of these statements must be wrong?

[dogrunner11] 13/1/2017 11:15

Subsidies would make this exciting!!!!

[dogrunner11] 13/1/2017 11:14

But who know.... rather in then out personally

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 11:14

plus I also beleive it is only a matter of time before government,s put legislation into place where installers of renewable enrrgy have to install some kind of storage with their instalations...

[dogrunner11] 13/1/2017 11:14

They can get an order that is to be filled over a 2 or 3 year period, or a large contract like Gigha, there's plenty about and we recruited someone last July/August to do exactly this job.

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 11:12

1% of that market will be 3,250.......so a order for 1,000 units would not be out of the question.....it is only a matter of time before that order does arrive...this year???

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 11:08

as for your statement about orders, there are at the moment 240,000 telecom towers in South Africa, should REDT receive an order for 1,000 battery,s to power the telcom towers, can you imagine what that would do to the share price.... or to put it another way should REDT take Just 10% of this telecom market in South Africa....but I beleive with the backing of Jabil Inala REDT will tke a larger part of this market...will thos e new 85,000 telecom towers install vanadium flow battery,s...we wait and see..



This sale is a crucial development for the Company and represents an important step into a key market for volume sales. According to GSMA (Groupe Speciale Mobile Association) research, sub-Saharan Africa has over 240,000 telecom towers providing mobile coverage to 70% of the population. This figure is expected to grow to over 325,000 towers by 2020, with the majority of sites situated in either off-grid or weak-grid locations.

Renewables is a big threat for fossil fuel company,s.....they know they have either to embrace it and take control or bite the dust!!!!

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 10:58

companies like Total, BP, Statoil, exxon mobile.....they know the score and see the writing on the wall, there investment in renewables is gathering pace....they as oil companies should be 100% oil if that is what they beleive in....but the time for coal oil and gas is drawing closer year by year.......they see wind turbine generator company,s growing bigger and bigger, likewise solar and soon battery manufacturers...they are scared that one day they will be bigger than them...

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 10:53

Pierre a lot of coutries have a 2020 deadline that is growing ever closer....they had better be quick to meet those deadlines.....so anything that takes time to contruct is out of the question short term and each country will want to be seen a the leader in the field....

I wish people wouldn't expect imminent mass orders, red simply isn't at that stage yet. You have to wait a couple of years for that when it'll be judged on turnover and profits. Atm, it should be priced on its future turnover and profits. it has just raised the cash to recruit a sales team, which will take months which will then coincide with converting enquires into sales. Raising expectations of large sales today is really fuel for derampers imv.

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 10:46

When you get BP saying it renewable transition to 2035 will be like the oil boom...

" The rate at which renewables gain share from 2020 to
2035 matches oil’s gain over the 15 years of 1908-23 – years that included
the Texas oil boom, the discovery of oil in the Middle East, the British
Navy switching to oil, and the Model T Ford starting mass motorization."

Yes it is frustrating when you have a lot of them and you are looking every day for an RNS. But they are not selling apples and oranges. This is a brand new product with a brand new application and it comes in many sizes. I would think a few orders by the end of the month would be good going !!

[waterloo01] 13/1/2017 09:43

Must be some low hanging fruit they can close! Only 2 weeks into Jan but time for some order flows.

[alchemy] 13/1/2017 09:16

Orders and references please.

The all-time record for wind-generation was broken today, with well over half of all electricity generated coming from renewable sources.

Early this morning wind generation peaked at 2,815 megawatts (MW) on the island (at 7.15 am), breaking the previous record of 2,683 MW on January 28th last year.

Robin McCormick, Director of Operations, Planning and Innvovation, at EirGrid said it was a real accomplishment for the grid operator.

"Last night and into this morning we saw record levels of wind generation providing electricity across Ireland and managing this presented significant technical challenges for us. Dealing with wind generation of this scale on a small, island electricity grid hasn't been done anywhere else in the world and so this is a huge achievement for EirGrid.

“We've been working hard towards making this happen, analysing data and using all of our expertise to harness ever increasing amounts of wind. We will continue to optimise the electricity system in the hope that we can continue this trend, which is ultimately about reducing the cost of electricity for the consumer," he said.

Wind-generated electricity accounted for 60% of electricity usage overnight and into early this morning. Excess wind-generated electricity that could not be put on the transmission system was exported to Great Britain via interconnector links to Scotland and Wales.

EirGrid Group is a world leader in the management wind-generated electricity. In response to binding national and European renewable energy targets, it began a multi-year programme to meet the challenges of operating the system while achieving the targets.

The Delivering a Secure, Sustainable Electricity System programme is designed to ensure that it can securely operate the power system with increasing amounts of variable, renewable generation over the coming years.

Welcome one-day member of Advfn.

Not a good chart

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 08:23

MM,s seeding the market looking for sellers...maybe they will fool a few, maybe they will not....Fiday usualy is a up day in anticipatio of news...we will see..

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 08:16

As the deployment of renewables moves forward so will energy storage, projects like that of Statoil only push the need for storage...

Hywind: the next generation of wind technology


Through Hywind, we are moving one step further and into deep waters. The Hywind concept combines known technologies in a completely new setting, and opens up the possibility to capture wind energy in deep water environments.

The Hywind concept is perfectly adapted to deep waters close to regions with large power consumption throughout the world. This unique ability to be located flexibly provides considerable market opportunities.

Hywind consists of a turbine placed on top of a ballasted steel cylinder. The floating turbine unit is fastened to the seabed by three mooring lines. Our demonstration project near Karmøy in Norway has proven the technology. Through six years of testing in the North Sea, the concept has been verified and performance exceeds expectations. Based on the experience we have gained, we are now developing the world’s first pilot park offshore Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.



From the first unit to the pilot park we have achieved cost reductions of 60-70%. Going forward, we believe a further 40-50% cost reduction is realistic by 2030, potentially making floating offshore wind competitive without support regimes. This can be realised through further conceptual enhancements, such as larger and lighter units, combined with a matured supply chain and economies of scale.





Statoil has interests in four large-scale conventional wind projects off the coast of the UK and Germany, and we are operator for the Dudgeon wind farm currently under construction. We are also pioneering innovation in offshore wind solutions through our unique floating wind concept Hywind. Offshore wind already has a strong foothold in Europe with 10 GW installed capacity, and a global potential to reach more than 100 GW by 2030. Fixed turbines are ideal for developing offshore wind in water depths of 20–50 metres, but with floating structures, wind power can expand into new deep-water areas around the world—and Statoil is at the forefront of developing this exciting new market.
