Redt Energy Share Discussion Threads

The UK’s electricity system will be transformed over the coming decades.
This is being driven by the need to decarbonise our power supplies,
our ageing power stations reaching the end of their lives and new
technologies changing the way households and businesses use and
generate electricity.

Last year the company successfully tendered 201MW of EFR in eight projects totalling £65.95m (with an average price of £9.44/MW of EFR/h) to maintain the grid frequency at 50Hz.

This year the company is re-writing the process in a bid to

group together balancing services with similar requirements and make the process of energy distribution more flexible.

The three initial groups will include Frequency Response, Reserve Energy and Standby & Margin categories, although others may be added.

So for example, EFR and firm frequency response (FFR) dynamic and static will be in the general frequency response category; whereas reserve services and demand turn-up will be grouped in the reserve energy section along with STOR runway.

Work on the new proposal is ongoing, with National Grid planning to announce more details in its Electricity Future Operability Strategy document at the end of March.

The proposals are likely to involve a gradual roll out rather than a sudden step change of the policy.

Stewart Larque, head of Regional Media at National Grid, told BBB: “The intention is exactly the opposite to restricting the opportunities to big players – we want to remove complexity and barriers to smaller players and non-traditional technology types, encouraging greater competition for balancing services.

Guess who's back, back again
DLG's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back, guess who's back

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me!
‘Cause we need a little controversy
‘Cause it feels so empty without me

UK utility National Grid is opening up the tender process to allow smaller companies and non-traditional energy storage methods to compete in the grid-scale UK market.

The company is aiming to simplify its suite of balancing services rather than simply tendering for more individual services targeting specific needs, such as Enhanced Frequency Response (EFR).

Storage allows consumers and suppliers to take energy and store it so that it
can be used when it is most needed.
Electricity prices vary throughout the day, and across the year. When demand
is higher, prices rise. Storage technology allows consumers to buy electricity
when it is cheap and use it later when it is needed.
There are a number of ways electricity can be stored. Today, our main source
of storage is through pumped hydro – simply converting electric energy
into potential energy and back by moving water up and down a hill. There is,
however, an increasing range of alternative ways to store energy including;
chemical batteries, compressed air and supercapacitors.

Your ISA allowance (or ISA limit) is set by the Government and specifies how much money you can invest or save in ISAs each tax year (06 April - 05 April next year). It usually increases each year, but you are not required to use all of it - use as much as you like! If you wish to, you can split your ISA allowance between a Stocks & Shares ISA, a Lifetime ISA (April 2017 onwards for 18-40 yr-olds), a Cash ISA and an Innovative Finance ISA. Please note that The Share Centre only offers Stocks & Shares ISAs (we plan to offer a Lifetime ISA once they are launched).
Your ISA limit 2017/18 is £20,000
If you choose, you can invest all of your 2017/18 ISA allowance in one of the types of ISA mentioned above. Alternatively, you could split it across all four, so let's take a look at how you could use it:

BiGMacL The reason REDT is worth holding on to is this:

150000000 * .08

That is a massive vote of confidence. is that £12M??

[davemac3] 16/2/2017 22:08

still no orders

[dlg3] 16/2/2017 15:06

pierre sme should be same before you feel the need to correct me ........

[dlg3] 16/2/2017 15:04

oh you mean the 248,000 instead of 288,000..... just the wife talking to me at the sme time, nothing serious.......

[dlg3] 16/2/2017 15:00

thanks for the spelling lesson pierre, I need it but that time just a slip in the old memory department..... i only used 20% as an imaginary figure.....the post was not factual..... if you took it as that then you must be a bigger dimwit than I thought.. you visit and post on a thread you can not stand ?? is there something wrong with your brain???

wtf?

[pierre oreilly] 16/2/2017 14:52

£240,000 so by my calculation if jabil stick there 20% profit on top that £248,000

omg! 8k is 20% of 240k?

and it's 'their' not 'there'

The ground prep work and pre instalation ie. switchgear was done late august early september 2016 can not remember which off the top of my head..

[dogrunner11] 16/2/2017 13:28

That's not actually a solid base, thought it was! perhaps that is how they got around that one.

I'd think it's more do with all partners being satisfied or getting everyone there to do certain works and get it signed off.
