Redt Energy Share Discussion Threads

The UK Green Investment Bank's purpose is to accelerate the UK’s transition to a greener, stronger economy.

The UK Green Investment Bank was created by the UK Government, our sole Shareholder, who have provided us with initial capital to invest. We use this to back green projects, on commercial terms, across the UK and mobilise other private sector capital into the UK’s green economy. Our investments help fund the creation of new, modern, green infrastructure across the UK. We have invested in every part of the UK and across all our target sectors - energy efficiency, waste and bioenergy, offshore wind, and onshore renewables, backing large projects with a capital expenditure of more than £1bn and small projects of £2m. We have set up five funds to specifically target smaller green projects.

We are playing an important role. Investment levels in the UK’s green economy remain well below what’s required. We are taking on the more difficult infrastructure projects, de-risking new sectors and helping to lower the cost of capital for green projects. We are financing the modernisation of the UK’s energy and waste sectors while backing smaller, innovative initiatives.

Sector news.......



Centrica business boss says ‘entire energy system is changing’
Jun 13, 2017 Jonny Bairstow Latest Videos, ELF


The needs of energy customers are changing fast and suppliers will have to change too.

That’s according to Mark Hanafin, the CEO of Centrica’s Business division, who spoke to ELN at our Energy Live Future Conference in Leicester last week.

He said the days of turning on extra power stations to deal with spikes in demand were coming to an end, to be replaced by a more decentralised system where the roles of supplier and customer are more ambiguous.

Mr Hanafin said technology and the growth of renewables was orchestrating the change: “It’s driven by other technologies that are becoming distributed, energy storage is coming into play, technologies around sensors and how we’re using energy, so all of that’s allowing the system now to balance, not just by turning on a new power station but by turning down demand and turning on distributed generation.”

redT is well funded after recent capital raisings and there is no suggestion that additional cash is required.

However if new funding is required for expansion purposes at some time in the future, then the Bond launch as described in the RNS today from Atlantis Resources could be of interest to redT (and its shareholders? - noting the proposed yield).

Good to know that another source of finance may be available for "green" investments.



Atlantis Resources Limited Proposed Bond Launch

15/06/2017 7:00am
UK Regulatory (RNS & others)

Atlantis, a global leader in the tidal power sector, announces that it is working with Abundance Investment Limited ("Abundance"), the provider of a regulated green peer-to-peer investment platform, to prepare an offer for bonds to raise further capital for the activities of the Atlantis group.

Abundance offers individuals the opportunity to invest in projects or companies with a focus on the environment and renewable energy. The Abundance investments are eligible for inclusion in an ISA.

Atlantis is working with Abundance to launch a bond offer which, together with the capital raised in the Company's recent equity issuance, will provide funds for the growth of the Atlantis group's business. These funds are expected to be used to progress and accelerate the development of the best opportunities in the Atlantis project pipeline, to repay some more expensive debt, and to provide general working capital for the Atlantis group.

There's more then one brochure lol

[netcurtains] 15/6/2017 07:57

Speaking as someone who buys stuff from time to time, it looks OK to me.
I normally ring round and get about 3 or 4 quotes.
Then pick the one that looks about mid range (dont like taking big risks).
Seems ok to me.
I'd expect REDt to be winning quite a number of orders.
I guess we'll soon see.

Dr DarkStar - You are so very right with your comments - Also what is missing (imo) are any case histories (or if they wish not to publish for reasons of competitor confidentiality) a bold footnote that potential customers SHOULD CONTACT THE SALES TEAM AND DISCUSS IN CONFIDENCE PROVEN CASE HISTORIES. The message received is that the projections may be theoretical. The other assumption which looks odd to me is that in the example demand is shown as constant which is unusual and also a significant gap in power supply during the night which presumably will need to be met by using a diesel genset - so a significant increase in capital costs and maintenance costs for 2 systems.

If I have made a mistake in interpretion - anyone who wishes to contest please do so in detail as to where above comments are incorrect.

That brochure isn't professional enough, more work needed. Even has a typo on the first diagram which in itself is a poor illustration of benefit

[dogrunner11] 14/6/2017 19:38

New brochures online, just starting our sale attack? Looks that way to me



Good example

AGM being held in the classy premises of the Workshop. Attendees asked to bring their flasks & deck-chairs.

[alchemy] 14/6/2017 08:56

Good advice . My broker is always within the spread.AGM earlier this year. 13th July.A month only.

[pierre oreilly] 13/6/2017 10:30

Ring your broker who'll ring and negotiate with the mms and deal well inside any internet spread.

[cheek212] 13/6/2017 10:21

Share price has such a large spread quoted I get the impression the MMs don't want much volume! Been like it last 2 days.

[alchemy] 12/6/2017 16:36

If , small word means a lot.

[netcurtains] 12/6/2017 15:53

dont go around telling people man - what a stupid thing to say.

[alchemy] 12/6/2017 14:50

Looking to pick up more if this softens.

[johnyo] 12/6/2017 10:33

Totally agree with PUG ! We need orders FACT ! looking at a July/August exit if no orders are generated we are up against tough opposition for the Australian project, would be game changing and if we won the tender

The Aussies are going to force windmill owners to pay the cost of backup. That means windfarms will either go bust, or they have to avoid backup costs. That means installing big storage machines on windfarms.

DONG Energy To Integrate Battery Storage Into Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farmhttps://cleantechnica.com/2017/06/08/dong-energy-integrate-battery-storage-burbo-bank-offshore-wind-farm/

“Queensland is in the midst of a renewable energy investment boom, with almost 20 projects either under construction or due to start this year,” said Thornton.

"This current investment boom is worth AU$2.2 billion (US$1.64 billion), 1,000MW of new generation capacity and almost 1,700 direct jobs, with many more benefits flowing into regional areas. Today’s policy initiatives will ensure this is just the beginning,” he added.

We know we are tendering for one of these, I suspect we are tendering for others: -

Confirmation that Australia has suddenly become the “go-to” place for the international battery storage industry comes with news that Victoria’s battery storage tender attracted some 110 proposals, outstripping even the extraordinary response to the rival tender in South Australia.

That call for expressions of interest was for a 20MW/80MWh battery storage array to be built in western Victoria, at a site with a “weak network” and expanding renewable energy capacity.

Another EOI process is being run for a another 80MW of energy storage, with proposals due on April 25. Once those have been processed, and the final configuration narrowed and defined, a dual-track tender process will take place.

The Victorian tender is happening at the same time as the South Australian tender for 100MW/100MWh of battery storage (with varying configurations also welcome). The initial phase closed last Friday and on Monday the state energy minister revealed that 90 proposals had been received from 10 different countries.

The Australian state of Queensland has announced a 400MW renewable energy auction with 100MW ring-fenced for energy storage.

The tender was part of a raft of announcements on Monday, including confirmation of a commitment to source 50% of its electricity from renewables by 2030.

PO: Sorry - It is you who do not appear to understand - SALES KEEPS A COMPANY ALIVE -- Without sales prospects poor. This is not a non sequitur - It is plain honest fact.

Re Holding Never held but was introduced to the Coy by major holders and doing usual DD could see potential but no apparent profitable traction. As requested please advise as asked above what are the PROVEN cost benefits against competion - Message received from lack of commercial orders should be obvious.
