Beck's, agreed it's great to get the cheap nuke power flowing into the grid again .What's not so great is the hold the French have over us. Pull the plug on the interconnector at a low wind time, and suppliers go bust as wholesale prices go up x5.Better if we had our own cheap nuke power. Perfect if we had 25 of them .

Bit of a Tree shake before Thursday.

Short term targets of £10 here and £17 for SSE are both looking achievable to me within a few trading days. Utilities seem to be back in vogue now with the economic recovery slowing and interest rates on hold for longer than anticipated, possibly until Feb.

Good News!

National Grid to Return to Full IFA Capacity Ahead of Schedule
11/11/2021 | 04:16am GMT

(MT Newswires) -- National Grid (NG.L) expects to make the full 2 gigawatts of IFA capacity to be available for the next winter season, it said Wednesday.

The British utility company expects to return the IFA interconnector to full service on Dec. 16, 2022, 10 months ahead of its previous estimate. Additionally, it will no longer need to take a Bipole out of service from May 2023 to October 2023.

One of the IFA interconnector's two Bipoles, each with a capacity of 1 gigawatt, was returned to operations in October.

The 1 gigawatt of capacity was taken offline due to a fire at the company's site in Sellindge in September.

Looking good for £10 soon :-)

[mattboxy] 11/11/2021 08:55

Not sure that's the right phrase but slow and steady towards the £10 is fine by me!

[mattboxy] 11/11/2021 08:53

Softly softly catchee monkey!!

[bountyhunter] 10/11/2021 19:22

£10 sometime this month imho.

Can this actually make a tenner before Christmas.

NG/SSE could see a flight to safety if markets
tank sometime over next few wks,
Tesla down 80$ pre-market, how can the recent 57% rise be justified?
interesting to see what Kimbul Musk $110ml sale has on market
plus US hyper inflation comments by Dorsey, if this turns into a surge
for crypto's say goodbye to your pension,

edit 3 steady down days on dow, just what the markets needs
a sensible correction

Having said that I've just noticed that FTSE futures are down 25 points so we may open slightly down :(

[bountyhunter] 05/11/2021 07:45

We've been above 1100p in the past, 1000p should be a breeze with interest rates unexpectedly kept on hold yesterday. I know that it's not all about interest rates but surprisingly being kept on hold @0.1% affects sentiment.

[davetedjack] 04/11/2021 23:31

Yep correct. Too much coffee. 4.3% possible on a very good day, but it would need to be a very good day. Couple of % tomorrow setting the stage for next week would be nice into the weekend.

[gateside] 04/11/2021 23:18

Actually a move up of just 4.3% would take it to 1000p:-)

[mattboxy] 04/11/2021 23:06

Don't mean to be pedantic but 5% would do it.

[davetedjack] 04/11/2021 22:15

Needs to move 10% from here so probably not in a couple of sessions. Rising nicely though. Onwards and upwards.

[pander45] 04/11/2021 21:55

Will it crack 1000?

[bountyhunter] 28/10/2021 19:08

Just read the HL article in full, of the 5, namely

National Grid,
Diageo,
Shaftesbury
Microsoft and
Visa

personally I like NG, MS and Visa, DGO has too much debt for me and I don't like Shaftesbury's retail property focus and prefer SUPR as a REIT investment.

Interesting reading, thanks for adding the link UI.

[bountyhunter] 28/10/2021 18:48

Thanks Uty, much appreciated.
I'm surprised SSE is not on their list given the yield and focus on renewables.

[marktime1231] 28/10/2021 10:51

Not sure taking investment advice from HL is wise, didn't they back Woodford and flog his funds to their punters?

[pierre oreilly] 28/10/2021 10:43

If NG are still paid partly as an uplift to the wholesale electricity price, then while our bills double and treble, ng's profits must be skyrocketing.

Are they still paid in part by a percentage of the wholesale price?

The short version :-)
