Wind and solar power could challenge nuclear energy


The value of nuclear energy, and in particular the troubled Hinkley Point, is being questioned in light of the possibilities offered by alternative and renewable technologies.

One of Hinkley Point’s main advantages is offering continuous, “on-all-the-time” power. However, technology and its lower costs may be erasing the need for the plant to be built.


One of those technologies is hi-tech battery storage. Currently being researched are lithium-air, sodium-ion and redox flow batteries. These all offer better energy options if developed, and will be cheaper than electricity. Their potential for energy storage will address complaints that wind and solar are intermittent.

The green industry also believes that renewables are cheaper and that they will make the Hinkley project unnecessary. Solarcentury (a solar panel maker) Founder, Jeremy Leggett, said: “Finally the message is getting through that Hinkley, and indeed nuclear, make no sense today simply because wind and solar are cheaper. If we accelerate renewables in the UK, we can get to 100% renewable power well before 2050.”

Energy storage is becoming an increasingly important topic of discussion for the renewable sector. An energy storage revolution could completely change the energy industry. Dr Andrew Crossland, senior design engineer at Solarcentury, discusses renewable energy and storage below.



As we tucked into our roast dinner on party day in May this year, not just one but seven British power stations either broke down or became unavailable. This, together with inaccurate wind forecasts and a breakdown of a subsea connector to France, led to a massive shortfall in electricity. National Grid just didn’t have as much power as it expected. In total, Britain unexpectedly lost around 1,800MW of supply (enough to boil 800,000 Tesco own-brand kettles). National Grid had to find emergency energy sources, so we could continue to enjoy our roast dinner without the lights going out. However, acquiring emergency energy did not come cheap: some power stations were reportedly charging 24x the normal rate –inflating our electricity bills.

It’s exciting that some of the most innovative storage products are being developed in this country. Although the lithium battery is probably the most famous, flow batteries and thermal storage are hugely promising for some applications. The challenge now for the UK is to properly recognise the value of storage in helping to meet the government’s three core aims: keeping the lights on, reducing our carbon footprint and keeping electricity prices low.

Grandad was born into a coal-centric world. Some 80 years later, the world is moving away from fossil fuels in favour of cleaner, more sustainable energy sources. Without more energy storage, a low carbon world cannot be realised. What is clear is that storage benefits more than the renewable transition – it also improves the reliability, affordability and flexibility of our existing electricity system. This means cleaner air, more consistent prices and more energy independence for the UK. Who wouldn’t want more storage, and who wouldn’t want more right now?

these are not made up stories as some would suggest, they are real events, the de-rampers that visit this site, would have you beleive otherwise, i could post articles like this all day, just from the last 12 months...but do like people to do their own reaserch... there is a wealth of information out there, that is probably why Jabil choose REDT, Jabil went to REDT and asked could we manufacture your product.....that rarely happens in industry, normally the company has to go begging!!

[dlg3] 14/1/2017 12:50

REDT in more and better connected than people think...





what are these contact worth???? companies would give millions just to have Camco,s contact,s.... these contacts have been built up over a decade, although REDT may seem to be a new company..

Kenya Ranked 2nd in Africa For Clean Energy Investments
June 13, 2016 Kenyan WallStreet Kenyan News

Kenya has been ranked second behind only South Africa for clean energy investment in Africa and sixth globally. Kenya’s renewable energy potential is vast; already the world’s 8th largest producer of geothermal energy.

A panel briefing and networking reception held on June 9th, brought together some of the industry’s thought-leaders for an informative session on the opportunities, possibilities and challenges of this exciting industry. In attendance was Inge Stolen, a Senior Investment manager of Clean Energy at Norfund, Robert Wilson who is a Director Emerging Markets, Green Power

“Our stakeholders and partners from across the global renewable energy sector are always on the lookout for the next growth market. Increasingly Kenya is featuring higher and higher on their list of where this could be. From investors to developers and service providers there’s a real belief that Kenya’s renewable energy sector is on the brink of sustained, long-term growth. In coming to Kenya and launching KENREC we want to be a part of this and help build a platform for the entire value chain to deliver cost effective clean energy.” noted Robert Wilson.

a interesting fact about REDT, redt in the dutch language means "saves" I would think that correct as REDT,s energy storage machine save energy and money £££;£ $$$

[dogrunner11] 14/1/2017 11:02

Cheers Mr Parsons! Good work DLG.

Interesting read from simply Wall Street, obviously not done any research of company but it's still a positive read and as they say all publicity is good.

[parsons4] 14/1/2017 08:14

dig3 and dogrunner11 please continue your great posts. I know more about the product here than any other of my small company holdings !!! and it really is exciting for such a small unknown (yet) company.

Centrica: Floodgates on battery storage investment to open in 2017
JANUARY 12, 2017

Investor interest in energy storage is increasing rapidly with battery storage projects gathering pace this year, according to Centrica. The energy giant also predicts a significant increase in capacity market contracts for batteries from here on in.

Tim Barrs, who leads energy storage sales under the firm’s British Gas brand, says non-domestic users looking to shift loads away from peak price periods and monetise assets via grid balancing services should plan their investments now to beat the rush.

“Battery storage has yet to achieve the widespread ‘bankable status’ that we saw with large scale solar PV”, says Barrs. “But knowledgeable investors are improving their understanding and confidence in revenue streams and I think we will see a groundswell [of investment] by summer.”

dlg3: Its not ramping - its showing your heart on your sleeve.

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 20:20

I hope my ramping, as some would put it has been of some use to some people, do your own reaserch, do not take my word for anything...only invest what you can afford to loose, every thing in life is a risk including investing, but as many have pointed out on here, this is probably the best AIM investment at this moment in time..

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 20:16

this is what BP have to say on the subject...

" 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."

In other words HUGE !!!!

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 20:14

energy storage will be the catalyst for the next industrial revolution.....you think the dot-com boom was big??? wait until the next industrial revolution gets traction!!!

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 20:12

Remember renewables and storage are no longer a luxury they are a necessity, countries and companies will be falling over each other, governments securing future electricy supplies and companies to bring down running costs...

the problem is that when it rains, there will be little water reaching the dams, most of the water will be absorbed by the parched ground, it will soak it up like a sponge...

the same is happening in parts of the USA, Brazil India South Africa, all around the world......is this all part of global warming, climate change??? the weather is shifting and countries are going to have to adjust their lives to suit there climate, that includes how they produce electricity...

DroughtThe dam levels around Gauteng are a source of concern for the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) as they continue to decline.

The combined dam levels in the province are currently sitting at 84.3%, accounting for a reduction of 4% from 88.3 % this time last year.

“By all accounts, this paints a bleak picture which may necessitate that stringent measures be taken by everyone to continue to conserve water. The continued scarcity of rainfall will compound even further the dire situation that the province is currently facing,” the DWS said in a statement.

The department has highlighted the Katse Dam, a critical source of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, to show the seriousness of the dwindling water levels. Katse Dam is now at 48.7% with a decrease of 1.1% from the previous week.

This is closely followed by the Vaal Dam which decreased to 35.2% with a decrease of 0.4% week on week. The Sterkfontein Dam is the only dam that remains steady at 89.5%, while Grootdraai Dam decreased by 0.3% and is now at 79.3%.

“This decline in water levels points to the fact that our water resources are gradually moving to critically low levels. Given the negative state of these dam levels, the DWS is continuing to sensitise communities about the importance of water conservation and for them to be alive to the effects of the real possibility of water scarcity if caution is not exercised,” the DWS said in a statement.

South Africa are building some coal fired power stations, but will they have the water to run them when they are finished...so when they realize they can not opperate, who are they going to call??? REDT busters...( could not resist) they will impliment renewables on a large scale.....

"The Jabil tie-up, which is a long term collaboration, is an interesting one in that it provides third party validation of the technology. It also reveals the ambition of both sides as the US firm will be looking to mass produce units for sale around the world "

I keep posting the above quote, because it does say mass produce!!!!!

In the early days of pace micro they doubled there workforce, Jabil have taken their workforce from 147 to 359 at livingston Scotland.....remember this... also REDT have doubled their workforce not because they plan to have a big Christmas party next year, but because the workload requires them too.....

what people here are concerned with is orders, look beyond the orders, they will come thick and fast...look what those involved are doing...Jabil Inala Kenya Morocco south Africa India.......around the world.....Electricity supplies are being impacted by something as simple as water, Hydro electricity plants can not keep up the supply of electricty, not just because of drought, but because they were designed 40 years ago, they are out of date and can not cope with demand today...add in the water shortages in these countries and you have a crisis...
