A major renewable energy project in Australia billed as the world's largest solar farm in development has had its proposed location revealed.The AUD$20 billion facility – the heart of an ambitious electricity network called the Australia–ASEAN Power Link – will be built at a remote cattle station in the Northern Territory, roughly halfway between Darwin and Alice Springs.The 10 gigawatt farm in the Northern Territory will span 12,000 hectares and be visible from space by the time it is generating electricity in 2027. The gargantuan 10-gigawatt array – spread out across some 20,000 football fields' worth of photovoltaic panels – might be situated close to the heart of the Australian outback, but the energy reaped from the plant will ultimately be transported far, far away from the sunburnt country.The planned US$14 Billion project will supply up to a fifth of Singapore's electricity needs via the world's longest undersea cable from a giant solar battery on the Darwin coast. That's because the Power Link doesn't just involve building the world's largest solar farm, which will be easily visible from space. The project also anticipates construction of what will be the world's longest submarine power cable, which will export electricity all the way from outback Australia to Singapore via a 4,500-kilometre (2,800 miles) high-voltage direct current (HVDC) network.For this transmission system to work, the PowerLink, being developed by Singaporean company Sun Cable, will also need to build the world's largest battery, which will be stationed near Darwin on the northern coast of Australia.The idea is that the network will transport current from the array at Newcastle Waters roughly 750 kilometres north, where it will be stored at the Darwin battery.Some of the current will enter the local Darwin grid, but the majority will be exported internationally via over 3,700 kilometres of undersea cables laid along the ocean bed, first through Indonesian waters, before eventually making it all the way to Singapore.Once the electricity reaches its ultimate destination, it's expected to provide power for over 1 million Singaporeans – about 20 percent of the sovereign island's population – and ultimately there are plans to provide power to Indonesians also.Of course, for this hugely ambitious multi-year renewables project to be pulled off, lots of things have to go right.Once all the approvals are secured – including environmental assessments for a project expected to take up around 120 square kilometres (almost 50 square miles) of land – construction is expected to begin in 2023, with energy production commencing in 2026, and the first exported electricity could be flowing in 2027.The country is now deploying solar and wind up to five times faster than the EU, US, Japan and China, according to a recent study by the Australian National University. Sun Cable's high profile backers include one of the country's richest mining magnates Andrew Forrest and tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes. Https://www.sciencealert.com/world-s-largest-solar-farm-to-pipe-power-internationally-from-australia-under-the-sea

Renewable energy reinforces case to restart domestic beneficiation ? Smart6TH NOVEMBER 2020 hTTps://www.miningweekly.com/article/renewable-energy-reinforces-case-to-restart-domestic-beneficiation-smart-2020-11-06Also, he said, South Africa was well positioned in a macroeconomic perspective to drive the concept of being sustainably off-grid as the country could expand its development of new battery technologies, such as vanadium redox flow batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells."Bushveld Minerals have been doing some great stuff with vanadium batteries.""We have this fantastic opportunity with very high solar incidence during the day and lots of wind at night – so what a perfect solution, between solar and wind we could be generating enormous amounts of renewable energy," said Smart, who added that batteries also provided an adequate solution for when grid power was not available.

There have been several occasions in the past where our large seller has paused, people have got excited at the prospect and then the sells have recommenced so I will hold fire on calling a turning point.

I'll let you know when there is a gap Plat Hunter.

3 inside up reversal posted this morning.. Tick up coming anytime

[plat hunter] 06/11/2020 14:20

Mr 500 has been absent for a dew days, I wonder if our long term resident contributor JC has anything to add on that ;-P

[plat hunter] 06/11/2020 10:08

Better... But close the spread, stop being so greedy.

[plat hunter] 06/11/2020 08:46

I'm off to cafe to get a sarnie and coffee... When I come back, I want see some volume please

[plat hunter] 06/11/2020 08:29

Biggest issue with trading and being transparent about it has been coming from the biggest bag holders and now there's no volume.Ha ha ha... a couple of you sulking are we?Jog on then losers, I'll happily hoover up what you've got left to dump.

PS Capa is a bell end

[plat hunter] 05/11/2020 19:21

Lolzz you realise the irony in that statement right?If I'm here hunting Prats....

[le mailot jaune] 05/11/2020 17:22

Are you sure it's not PRAT HUNTER ....If it is you've found yourself.

[plat hunter] 05/11/2020 11:42

Limit order in for 11.80 to pick up some more.

[plat hunter] 05/11/2020 11:41

Lol okay JC thanks for the help

[jc2706] 05/11/2020 11:36

Ha! I was trying to be helpful to someone who is clearly just starting out down a path that will lead them to pain. No problem. I'll let you get back to pretending to being associated with the FCA (although why anyone would want to do that on one of these bulletin boards is beyond me).

[plat hunter] 05/11/2020 09:58

JC, oddly the only person with a problem here is you..You clearly don't understand time durations, candles, volumes, liquidity and even analogies as well as a black and white spelled out definitions...I'm not interested, in trying to convince you, good luck.

[jc2706] 05/11/2020 09:46

Ah, I see where your problem lies Plat Hunter.

"oil and FX markets".

This is a company trading on AIM. Applying the rules in the same way for these different markets may be perilous to your wealth!

[maroon bells] 04/11/2020 17:30

I agree, should easily be within reach. But then if we get some green wind behind this anything is possible.

[plat hunter] 04/11/2020 16:50

Well if we fast forward to ye 2021 when the efficiencies of the Vandium m&a and ramp up have had time to contribute to a full years of accounts then a forward eps of 3 pence is not too unrealistic.On a pe of 10× earnings and a bit of head wind then you might have it by the end of next year.Fortune's spending and dilution permitting of course.

[maroon bells] 04/11/2020 16:32

That will have to do then, patience, patience.

[plat hunter] 04/11/2020 16:21

Sadly not Maroon, but there is one at 36p dating back to the 1st of March 2019 on the 1 month chart

[maroon bells] 04/11/2020 16:11

Do we have any gaps at 48p to fill?
