Take a look at coal fired stations and hydro water levels around the world, water in countries that rely on water are using vast ammounts for power generation....renewables would stop the need to consume huge ammounts of water on generation..power generation is taking water that is relyed on for crop irrigation and drinking water...

Just sold another quarter. Constant ramping and raising expectations of news on the other BB just leaves people disappointed when it doesn't come. Traders will be closing positions on a Friday afternoon too.

The need to tackle these problems are getting desperate, the need to bring on more renewables grows ever more urgent...

Just to say, that book, The SWITCH, invaluable primer, and beyond.

[alchemy] 13/1/2017 13:36

Just to re-iterate , the book SWITCH is a must-read. I am not a categoric person. But, roll of drums, read it.

The saudi,s had better get a move on....2020 fast approaching..


Saudi Arabia has launched a radical ‘Thatcherite’ shake-up to an avert economic crisis and prepare the kingdom for the post-carbon world, stunning analysts with claims that it could break reliance on oil within just four years.

Prince Mohammad bin Salman, the country’s de facto ruler, vowed to build a $3 trillion wealth fund and break onto the world stage as an investment superpower, the spearhead of an historic package of measures intended to bring the deformed economy kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.

“We have an addiction to oil. This is dangerous. I think that by 2020 we can live without it,” he told Al Arabiya television.

I think the share price will stick around the 11p - 12p mark until news, that could be next week or next month......ask yourself this, do you feel lucky, selling could see you out when the RNS does land, one thing for sure, the RNS will not be about fund raising, we will not see one of those for well over 12 months...

Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries: The Next Big Wave After Lithium Batteries
December 19, 2016 by John Lee, CFA

Renewable energy sources have expanded significantly in recent years, especially wind and solar. One of the largest issues with wind and solar energy sources is the need to store and release the electrical energy produced. A promising storage technology is vanadium redox flow batteries that will increase the demand for vanadium.

US Market Stability:
President Obama signed into law a long-term extension and phase-out of the Production Tax Credit (PTC) which has been the main federal policy mechanism of support for wind energy in the US. So, the US wind industry now embarks on its longest-ever period of policy stability, and the potential implications of this go far beyond the US market. The incoming US Secretary of Energy, Rick Perry, is a strong proponent of wind energy.

In their document, BP Energy Outlook 2035, the British multinational company, BP p.l.c. sees Europe leading the charge, with renewable energy accounting for 32% of its electricity generation by 2035.

The high growth of renewable energy both in absolute numbers and as a share of total power supply, invites the questions:

How to plug the hole in the grid supply when the wind stops and the sun does not shine?

What to do with excess wind and solar power?

Batteries are the most practical solution.

The emergence of utility-scale battery storage for energy is happening now, accelerating, and will get bigger in the next two to five years, according to Andrew Slaughter, the Center’s Executive Director and co-author of Electricity Storage Technologies, Impacts, and Prospects1.

1 A. Slaughter, “Electricity Storage Technologies, Impacts, and Prospects” (September 2015) Deloitte Center for Energy Solutions.

Lithium-ion batteries have taken the lion’s share of the energy storage market, but technological advances in flow batteries that bring down costs and improve their safety and environmental profile are likely to boost utility-scale installations and deployments. Compared to lithium-ion batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRB) are non-flammable, environmentally friendly, have estimated lifespans in excess of 10,000 cycles and maintain 90% of their capacity over 20 years thereby lowering the total cost of ownership. Getting 1,000 cycles of use out of a lithium-ion battery with full depth of discharge however, would be ambitious.

VRB is ideal for “grid constrained” solar and wind farms that currently struggle to sell their electricity at times of peak production but find other forms of storage are not economical. The other advantage of VRB over lithium-ion batteries are a longer continuous discharge run time (6-10 hours versus 2-5 hours). The downside for VRB is their relatively lower round-trip efficiency (measured by power out over power in) of 70% compared to 85% with lithium batteries.

Sub-Saharan African feed-in tariffs
Working with African Governments to promote the deployment of renewable energy

Internationally, renewable energy feed-in tariffs (REFIT) have a strong track record in promoting the deployment of renewables, leading to a reduction in costs and encouraging the establishment of a local renewable energy industry through the provision of A REFIT scheme is multi-facetted, including political, legislative, technical, social, financial, economic, cultural and planning dimensions, which all need to be addressed in order to make the feed-in tariff effective.

In developing countries, renewable energy and feed-in tariffs can play a significant role in supporting macro-economic development objectives by increasing energy security and energy access, contributing to job creation and overall sustainable development.

Over the past three years, Camco Clean Energy has been working with a number of Governments in sub-Saharan Africa on the development of renewable energy feed-in tariffs, including South Africa, Uganda and Botswana. Our work has included:

The development of network avoided cost and levelised cost tariff models and a renewable energy scenario tool. These tools have enabled policy makers to assess the potential cost impacts of various kinds of renewable energy and establish a viable programme that will be attractive to investors while restricting negative economic impacts such as electricity price increases
Assisting regulators and Governments in the development of institutional guidelines and regulatory frameworks to support the implementation of the feed-in tariff
At present, Camco Clean Energy is investigating how international climate change funds can be utilised to support the expansion of feed-in tariffs in sub-Saharan Africa, in particular for higher cost technologies such as solar PV and CSP. Camco Clean Energy is also looking at the role of feed-in tariffs for off-grid rural energy programmes.

When you invest in REDT you invest in 2 companies, REDT and Camco, Camco have many years of experience in trading in the sub sahara africa, China and the USA....so I would think contacts are not short on the ground... also part of the REPP


Meet the REPP Team in Marrakech at COP22
PUBLISHED ON 7TH NOVEMBER 2016
The REPP team will be hosting panel discussions at the Africa Pavilion, Nordic Pavilion and IETA Business Hub in the Blue Zone.

I think people are underestimating REDT/CAMCO

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 12:25

looks like REDT and camco have the most of the populated areas of su sahar africa covered.....

[dlg3] 13/1/2017 12:22

yes sub saharan area...also seeing as REDT and Camco have done projects with Morocco we could count them also, that covers more than the sub sahara

"South Africa leads the table with more than 35,000 towers"

[alchemy] 13/1/2017 12:12

Exactly .South Africa is in Southern Africa. ( factoid - So is Zambia but it is north of cricket' s equator. Zimbabwe is south of it).I like the idea that the sun can shine energy on these places. Lusaka, Livingston, others.Big boost to areas like the copperbelt. - especially when our storage hits.

[someuwin] 13/1/2017 11:54

Both statements can be true.

South Africa is a country in the Sub Saharan part of Africa

South Africa has 240,000 telecom towers

If any of the other many countries in Sub Saharan Africa has at least one telecom tower (which seems highly likely) then "sub-Saharan Africa has over 240,000 telecom towers" is correct.

The Company expects there to be strong demand for redT energy storage machines across a range of markets, including: Renewables (regional market with certain geographies now economic and demand expected from solar storage market: estimated market size US$65-103 billion); off-grid and weak grid (key market with drivers including high cost of diesel and solar storage demand: estimated market size US$27 billion); Grid Services (near term market for long duration grid services: estimated US market size US$32-50 billion); and Telecoms (response market focused on Off-grid and Weak Grid over time: estimated market size US$12 billion)And this in the placing document:-

[dogrunner11] 13/1/2017 11:51

I like people correcting facts booby.

Here's what the RNS said:-

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
