Ronan McGreevy Electric Ireland has announced it will increase residential electricity prices by 6.2 per cent and residential gas prices by 8 per cent from August 1st. Wholesale gas prices in particular have risen by 25 per cent in the last year driven by global demand. SSE Airtricity announced it was hiking electricity and gas prices by 6.3 per cent and 12.3 per cent respectively at the beginning of June. It too blamed the hikes on the increasing costs of importing oil and gas into Ireland.

Thanks chilston - nice to know some of what I post here is useful to investor's! I wouldn't be at all surprised to see this climb higher from this point with or without news. My earlier 1.5p target by end of July/beginning of Aug still stands here :)

Will probably grab some attention being on the risers board, I’d imagine many will pick up on the story now. Again, great write up below. http://tradeinsight.co.uk/infrastrata-its-finally-happening/

Definitely hotting up with this large volume. I have been in and out of this share for 10 years - frankly wished I had sold out last summer before the financing that never came... But - I have never owned a share that moves like infa when it moves!

0.50p ask. whos getting the last of the 0.4's stock? imo never to be seen again.gla

maybe people have been going through all of the quality research that you posted on here over the last few weeks, and realised that this is the real deal?! i came in 3 weeks ago, thought i would say hello again just before the herd arrive! Theres going to be no stopping this onne for a while, i can see .6 by end of today

A really impressive RNS today New people showing their mark already Will show the CEO up pretty quickly I have added today Price is on sale here now,more than evee TTP

Haha, no chance - hoping for 1.5p this year!

Bertie, did you push the sell button by mistake?

You do not make todays appointments unless it is 'Game on'.Onwards and Upwards.Clearly a Strong Buy.

Offered 0.462 to sell 1.5m shares

Couldn't agree more Brew re skin in the game - good to see! Just tweeted from GL the chairman himself................Soncer @GVLSoncer · 7m #infa very pleased to welcome two new great additions to our team. John Wood and Andy Duncan. Setting up for success.

SKIN IN THE GAME. Don't we just love it when directors put Skin In The Game. If directors aren't prepared to do it why should shareholders do it. Well done John Wood.

obviously not for Karen

Things moving in the right direction it seems.

New COO has 15million shares too

http://uk.businessinsider.com/r-natgas-ceos-say-product-can-help-curb-climate-change-2018-6 ........ Reuters Reuters 7h 4 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Natural gas can be a permanent solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and curbing climate change, not a step toward full utilization of renewable energy technologies, industry executives said on Tuesday. "This idea of natural gas as a transition fuel to renewables is strange," Total SA Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanne said Tuesday at the World Gas Conference in Washington. "Natural gas is a solution (to climate change). It's been scientifically proven." Pouyanne's views were echoed by others who joined him on industry panel, including executives from ConocoPhillips, BP Plc, Equinor Asa and Qatar Petroleum. "We don't believe the existential threat to our business is right around the corner," Conoco CEO Ryan Lance said. "We see rising usage of natural gas."

http://euanmearns.com/the-beast-from-the-east-coal-gas-and-the-uk ....... Posted June 18, 2018 by Roger Andrews ........... Key points ............................................. In late Feb 2018 high pressure over the North Atlantic and low pressure over the Mediterranean combined to generate a strong easterly airflow that brought Siberian temps to Western Europe, increasing heating demand to the point where there was a shortage of natural gas. The outcome was an increase in UK coal generation, partly because coal briefly became cheaper than gas as a source of electricity generation but mostly because the UK did not have enough gas in storage to fill both home heating and electricity generation needs. The UK, however, plans to shut down all its coal plants by 2025, and in this post I speculate as to what might have happened if they had all been shut down in 2018. The conclusion is that the UK would not have been able to cover peak load deficits during much of the cold period owing to inadequate gas supplies and installed gas capacity. It’s fortunate for the UK that the wind blew strongly during the cold periods around March 1 and 17. This, however, is unusual – cold winter nights in Europe are more commonly associated with high pressure systems parked over the continent that result in no significant wind generation anywhere. Gas generation actually declined during and around the March 1 and 17 cold periods. The reason for this was that the UK had as little as 5 days of gas supply in storage during March 2018, down from the 10-35 days of storage it had before the Rough facility was decommissioned. The decline in UK gas storage since then is illustrated by Figure 4 below, which reproduces one of the Figures from the Drax quarterly report. ......... https://s22.postimg.cc/ux3ujls8x/Untitled.png ...... If the extra coal output had been met by gas, it would have consumed around an extra 6 TWh of fuel – more than was available in storage by the end of March. The question now becomes, what would have happened if the UK had no coal plants? According to Drax either the lights, the heat or maybe both would have gone out because there wasn’t enough gas to go round: ...... Drax’s claim that 12-19GW of spare gas capacity was available is, however, questionable. Gas generated up to 21 GW on March 27 at the beginning of the cold snap and according to Drax there was only 27.8 GW of installed gas capacity, so the amount of spare gas capacity available at that time would have been less than 7 GW, not 12-19 GW – Without coal it would probably have been necessary to pay large industrial consumers to shut down during these deficit periods to keep the lights on. While UK govt policy fixates on electricity, gas for domestic heating is a far larger source of UK energy demand in the winter. .................... https://s22.postimg.cc/nmovktzb5/Untitled.png

https://www.dnvgl.com/news/industry-investment-gears-to-gas-as-nearly-half-of-senior-oil-and-gas-professionals-actively-prepare-for-the-energy-transition-124495 .................................................. Oslo, Norway, 26 June 2018: Nearly two-thirds (64%) of oil and gas sector leaders expect to increase or sustain spending on gas projects in 2018, as the sector prepares for gas to overtake oil as the world’s primary energy source in the mid-2030s. Published: 26 June 2018 Author: Neil James Slater Keywords: Oil & Gas Contact: Neil James SlaterHead of Media Relations and Events, DNV GL - Oil & Gas ............................. Confidence in the case for gas is growing, according to a survey by DNV GL, the technical advisor to the industry. The vast majority (86%) of the 813 senior industry professionals surveyed agree that gas - the least carbon-intensive fossil fuel - will play an increasingly important role in the global energy mix over the next decade, up from 77% last year. The stage is set for gas to become the largest single source of energy. Demand for it will peak in the mid-2030s, well after the use of each of the other fossil fuels has gone into long-term decline, according to DNV GL’s 2017 Energy Transition Outlook, an independent forecast of the global energy mix in the lead-up to the mid-century. The model predicts the industry’s intentions for increasing gas investments will accelerate in the early-2020s as major oil companies decarbonize their business portfolios.

https://t.co/iLdcjX2p9A?amp=1 .............................. Finance & Markets, Top Stories IEA: China to drive global gas demand growth The nation is forecast to be the largest natural gas importer by 2019. The Chinese Government’s push for cleaner air will drive the global increase in gas demand. That’s according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), which suggests the world’s demand for the fuel source will grow at an average rte of 1.6%, reaching just above 4,100 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2023 – up from 3,740 last year. Chinese gas demand is forecast to grow by 60% between 2017 and 2023, underpinned by policies aimed at reducing air pollution by switching from coal to gas.

Yep guy I'm in contact with on Twitter

Anyone we know Spud??

This weather must by good for grass growing on that field in Islandmagee? Will INFA get two cuts off it this year to boost income?
