The EGM will be accompanied by a statement or trading update ?
AFC already told us of the operational loss for the period which was to be expected and obvious really.
It is promising that following this silence and on acceptance of resolution 1, AFC will be fully funded with the full £31.6m. This alone should support customer confidence and hopefully, fingers crossed start the ball rolling with first adopters of the tech.
In general, manufacturers are finding that materials and supplies are becoming easier to get. A few months ago it was very difficult due to COVID.
I am not sure of how long it would take to assemble a 160kw system but when using of the shelf items with everything in stock, for a trained engineer i can't imagine it would take that long to load out a container, connect it up, test and certify the equipment.
Providing there are no supply chain issues, and given the relaxation in COVID lockdown, most if not all countries and manufacturers are more or less working as normal. If AFC receive orders now, supplies are delivered to Dunsfold withi the next few months (end of September for arguments sake), the first orders could be delivered by year end along with the Acciona system.
So can we expect more deliveries with the first 160kw deployment to Acciona ? I would think so !
Does that mean that orders must be imminent ? I would also think so.
Does that mean that following the EGM we will have newsflow ? Notes, I would think so.
