labour plan is to tax energy companys profit by 100% anyway.. so whos investing in this green?.

John Redwood@johnredwoodYou cannot close all gas and coal power stations this decade to rely on renewables. There's no power when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine. You need a hydrogen, battery storage and nuclear revolution to do so. This will not happen by 2030.6:58 am · 26 Sep 2022·Twitter Web App

i thought this idea of electricity production had been going for years all over the world using water storage and pumping back up again,the only difference i see with this one is using off peak wind power to pump it back up again.

they have one in the snowy mountains in oz and another in scotland,how do they get the power from just wind farms to the generating site as they are normally miles away from each other.

A Swiss pumped-storage power station, which can both produce electricity and store power from other sources, has been officially inaugurated.

The Nant de Drance hydroelectric plant in western Switzerland has been operational since July. Its turbines can generate 900 megawatts of electricity per hour by releasing water from an upper reservoir through dam sluice gates.

This is a similar amount of electricity production as the Gösgen nuclear power plant in Switzerland, making Nant de Drance one of the largest power producers in Europe.

The Nant de Drance facility can also store power by pumping the water back up to the reservoir ready for re-use when more electricity is needed. The storage capacity of the plant is equivalent to more than 400,000 car batteries.

It was built to cope with fluctuations in wind and solar-power supply and help stabilise electricity output Europe-wide.

It could, for example, store surplus energy from solar plants in Europe to be later released when the sun is not shining.

The Nant de Drance station is built in a remote region of canton Valais at an elevation of 2,225 metres above sea level next to the Vieux Emosson reservoir.

John Redwood@johnredwoodMost people have gas heating and petrol or diesel vehicles. More wind turbines are fine when everyone has gone electric and when we can store power for windless days. For now we need more affordable fossil fuels to keep factories working ,homes warm and vehicles working.6:10 am · 25 Sep 2022·Twitter Web App

no mention of the huge russian pressure to stop us fracking so we depend on the imports from there..

[spud] 24/9/2022 17:08

II proceeds in early doors so I suspect it's just down to your lazy/inept broker. spud

Is anyone else still waiting to receive the div that was due on 20/9, or is it just Interactive Brokers... yet again!?

Surging oil and gas profits mean the Government's windfall tax will rake in money equal to half the cost of this winter's £60bn energy support package for households and businesses.The "energy profits levy" announced by Rishi Sunak earlier this year was originally expected to raise around £5bn a year by taxing the earnings of North Sea operations, or a total of £20bn by 2025/26. But official estimates show the levy – charged in addition to corporation tax – is now expected to bring in £28bn overall, as surging oil and gas prices fuel a bonanza for the industry. That includes £7.7bn in 2022/23, then £10.4bn, £6.4bn and £3.5bn in the following years, although the Government said volatile markets made it hard to give firm predictions. It means the levy's total haul could amount to nearly half of the cost this winter of Liz Truss's gargantuan support package to help households and businesses weather rising energy bills.Her intervention will involve freezing annual household energy bills at an average of £2,500 for the next two years, starting October 1, and reducing businesses bills by roughly half for an initial six months....

On Thursday Mr Rees-Mogg told MPs he is "well aware" there are people who support the fracking ban, but noted that some opposition to drilling has been funded by Russia."I'm well aware that there have been objections to fracking, but I would also note that there have been stories widely reported that some of the opposition to ... fracking has been funded by Mr Putin's regime," he said....

Never a good idea to watch too closely on an off Market day (unless you're trying to time a buy that is).

Spud - thanks

Interesting the share price is starting to come back now

[spud] 23/9/2022 12:45

KK - It's the Market's star trick - Indiscriminate markdowns - throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

For those with spare loot, it's like Christmas come early. The tricky bit is in the timing.

So why is the share price tanking today?

Regardless of the merits or otherwise of the actions announced by the UK government they are unlikely to have much impact on the global results of Shell and the collapse of sterling must have a very positive impact on the earnings denominated in sterling.

I did not hear the chancellors statement but have not picked up any references to windfall profits tax or other measures that could impact share price negatively

What am i missing?

[charggg] 23/9/2022 10:17

Well timed if you got above £23.70 sell price. Does anyone know if the fx for share buybacks gets converted daily from USD to GBP? If we are converting daily USD to GBP to do the buybacks in GBP or EUR,the strong dollar and weak GBP and EUR mean that we are swooping up an extra 5-10% of shares, just from a few months ago? Not generally helpful having the GBP in the dump...

SHELL Background......FIVE AMBITIONS TO HELP THE UK TO NET ZERO, WHILE SECURING THE CRITICAL ENERGY FOR TODAYJun 13, 2022Five UK ambitionsFirst, we will play our part in keeping the country's energy flowing, helping to make Britain's energy system stronger and more self-reliant. We are re-developing the Pierce field which will come back on-stream later this year adding vital gas supplies to the UK. Our Jackdaw project recently received government approval and could produce 6.5% of the UK's North Sea gas – enough to heat 1.4 million homes later this decade.Second, we intend to accelerate the development of new low-carbon power and renewable energy sources across the UK's industrial heartlands. Together with our partner ScottishPower, for instance, we plan to build and operate two of the world's first large-scale floating offshore wind farms off the coast of Scotland – with a total capacity of 5 gigawatts, bringing clean energy to power the equivalent of 6 million UK homes.Third, we aim to lead a nationwide rollout of charging infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, so that, by 2030, 90% of UK drivers are no more than 10 minutes from a Shell rapid charger. Specifically, we aim to have 100,000 public chargers installed across the country by 2030, from around 5,250 charging points we have today.Fourth, we want to provide more, certified renewable electricity to customers, both at home at on the move. We aim to supply five million UK customers by 2030, up from the 1.4 million that Shell Energy Retail has today.Finally, we want to invest in what we call "generation net zero", looking for opportunities to provide the current and future workforce with the skills and opportunities to ensure that the transition is fair, just and for everyone. Through this programme we aim to help 15,000 people into jobs or pathways into jobs..... SHELL site

Well done shellsell. I don't think you'll regret selling and paying off your mortgage even if the price were to go higher from here. Once the money is gone and the mortgage paid off you'll forget you had it but it will make a difference to your outlook on life I think.
