Letter of Intent: Signed with a UK energy projectdeveloper with potential 490MW of grid connected sites

[dlg3] 27/7/2017 12:18

Can you imagine what will happen if tomorrow the company announces that the letter of intent for 490Mw has be turned into a signed contract...

It is like waiting for a bus, the moment you walk away the bus turns up....

[dlg3] 27/7/2017 12:13

I measure progress as the final price I sell for, what happens in-between is irrelevant..... I held pace for a number of years, then all the buses come at once.... the same will happen here...

[dogrunner11] 27/7/2017 12:13

Iglenn, the point I'm making is there's a lot of interest in our product, but those large players want to see a large scale project working, hence Centrica project that has ten days installation under its belt.

A week maybe before it's running? Sooner perhaps?

Not only national press be over it, so will these big hitters who'll be calling Scott.

[dlg3] 27/7/2017 12:05

Iglenn it did but then its like putting a rocket engine in a car, its ok for a dragster, but not for the long duration...

[iglenn] 27/7/2017 12:02

I measure progress as an investor in pounds and pence. Maybe that's simple but a bird in the hand and all that :-)

[alchemy] 27/7/2017 12:00

You've had progress. Building blocks in place.Watch Tesla share price fall. Not that it matters since ours is in no way coupled to theirs.

Dlg. A stunt I agree. But it had the intended result. His name and lithium is all the rage. Marketing is needed and if it means getting dressed up as a big Redt battery for the village fete then that's what needs to be done. All very well taking the slow approach when us as pi are paying their wages. Commercialisation means sustaining your business by your own means. Redt have yet to prove this after all the talk. Ps...dog you have posted that quote many times and it's over a year old I believe ? Has he got in the phone yet I wonder. I'm not deramping as I increased my holding this week but remain very frustrated at lack of movement in my investment. And I have been patient. Didn't expect to make a 10 nagger overnight but did expect to see some progress in a year.

Large contracts take time to close, there are many factors, one of those would have been the change in regulation.... I would wait until the law was clear, if it meant I was going to make more money.....some contracts take many months to close...

[dlg3] 27/7/2017 11:23

The stunt was also to push lithium to the front of storage....

[dlg3] 27/7/2017 11:18

Take up of storage has been a slow start, that is why Musk offered Australia 100 days or its free, now that tells me that they need the orders...

[dogrunner11] 27/7/2017 11:09

We are cheap large scale, get this Centrica (formally Gigha) project running we are in business, they have nearly 10 days under the installation belt, once installed we will get some publicity.

It will then also show those clients who want large scale a working site that orders will follow.

[dogrunner11] 27/7/2017 11:07

Timothy Cornelius, chief of tidal power developer Atlantis Resources, says the Gigha trial is “of extreme interest”. Atlantis is building one of the world’s largest tidal power arrays in Scotland’s Pentland Firth and expects energy storage to play a big role in future projects, particularly when they involve islands with limited grid connections.

“We fully subscribe to the idea that storage is the revolution,” Mr Cornelius says. “If they can prove [vanadium redox flow works as billed] then Scott McGregor will be one of the first people I call.”

Elon Musk ...pioneer : arrow in back

[iglenn] 27/7/2017 11:02

I think pierres point is valid really. We know about lithium problems but it is not the issue here. The issue is simply Redt getting orders. For over a year now it's been jam jam jam tomorrow. You can have the best product in the world but if you don't market and DRIVE the marketing you won't sell very much. And that unfortunately appears to be coming true. I asked Scott over a year ago if he was going to attend a conference in Dubai and he said he wasn't focusing on Middle East. I personally thought that was a bad decision. I haven't seen much evidence to prove otherwise. We need exposure the world over. Scott could do with lessons from Elon musk.

[dlg3] 27/7/2017 10:26

Pierre Oreilly as said many times before to your good self, lithium does have its place...

[alchemy] 27/7/2017 10:22

Yes, in the nicest possible way I can't base my investment in Redt on anecdotal stuff. Boeing went through a big learning curve on lithium on its Dreamliner. And packaging issues also tested on that Samsung phone. But they'll crack the problems. Now if a redt product could go into a liner ....air or sea.......?the Total Available market figures will be relevant once we've jumped the gap. I know I will have to wait but that does not fill my reservoir of patience.As for Halifax.... ..... yes the sun always shines on the West Riding.

The giant elephant in the room is named safety

Large-scale lithium-ion battery makers know how important safety is. That’s why they design very complicated cooling and fire suppression systems for their units to keep the system from entering thermal runaway. As distributed energy storage systems become more and more commonplace, the likelihood will grow that they need to be deployed in highly populated areas next to schools, hospitals, office buildings, etc., so even if all costs were equal lithium-ion begins to be a difficult choice.

One size battery does not fit all

Manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries for EVs and handheld electronics would naturally like to apply their technology that was designed with only one application in mind – high energy density – to large-scale energy storage. But just because it is right for your phone, laptop, or hoverboard, it doesn’t mean lithium is the right chemistry for far more demanding, higher energy uses. Lithium-ion’s high energy density is useful for personal electronics where (smaller) size matters, but for stationary storage applications that need to have the ability to handle high power and/or long duration applications multiple times a day, a far more versatile, robust energy storage system is required.

[dlg3] 27/7/2017 09:07

As renewable energy explodes worldwide and displaces legacy power generation systems, stationary energy storage will be implemented with increasing regularity to allow electrical systems to operate more efficiently with lower prices, fewer emissions and increased reliability. Because of this, the energy storage market is expected to grow from 172MW in 2014 to 12,147MW in 2024, according to Navigant Research. So it is only natural that companies across the globe are scrambling to get their piece of this rapidly growing pie. To date, the vast majority of the entries into the energy storage market have depended on lithium-based battery chemistry, but, the idea that lithium-ion is the technological and economic front-runner in the stationary storage space is a myth that is in dire need of de-bunking.

[dlg3] 27/7/2017 09:06

chicken01 yes who want to charge their car when you can just fill it with fuel, the best of both worlds is the ideal situation..... take out the old electrolyte and fill with new, even if the energy density of a flow battery is not equivalent to lithium, I would prefer to have a car that I could re-fuel in a couple of minutes, even if you had to do it more often..

Net. Are you sure st Ives can hold nigh on 45 million people.? Bet the b&b rates are high lol
