The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
Some very true statements there guys. A couple of areas that need further debate and for REDt some careful positioning. To set the scene in the UK in the short term, less than 10 years, the large coal power stations will be fully decommissioned if you check out http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ they have a capacity of around 7GW at full tilt. During this period electric cars will be dominant in the UK with a rough estimate will require the same annual GW/H as the cola power stations produced . We are heading towards a serious power generation deficit with a large demand increase i.e the worst scenario to be in. It must be noted that battery technology is NOT a generator it simply holds and releases power for frequency control or demand. In the WPD area where most of the wind and solar is produced the peak generation is produced at the minimum demand time this is where battery technology comes in. My concern is the capacity and footprint size of these units verses the demand. Read this in the context the large coal generation is gone we would need square miles in area to make up the shortfall with battery and I doubt we would have the generation to supply them with the added demand from electric transport. Just a thought !
Guys, We have 32 predictions in the game with a SP mean of 34p. We seem to have two schools of thought here, we start at bargain basement 5.5p running consecutively up to 38p then a gap, restarting at 58p finishing off with a barmy 92p. I will issue this post at the end of each month to keep us all focused. bongabob 5.5 Henwingy 6 Aletank 8 IsolatedBod 9.4 pablo2 9.9 James2708 11 fatbanker 11.25 ianous 12 Baldness 13 faramog 14 Doncaster 16 Pinecone54 18 sahid 19 enthuser 22 Oilychan 24 bobf 27 Sbuild 32 Tony_P 33 jodrell13 33.1 MLPRYOR 33.33 General Levy 35 Oldfool13 36 Freewill 38 hotchips 38.2 kiwi058 58 Ldninvestor123 59 Bolgas 64 LawrenceH 68 terof 70 Auds 84 Cheek212 88 tagware 92

umm I think I see the logic. Thank you Bolgas
There are some very large sells listed at the moment and we have an increase is SP. Is it because these are historic sales and the SP has already been adjusted to take account of this. Someone clever please enlighten me!!

Thanks guys, we still need another 75 getting some interesting comments justifying folks predictions. Closing date for your prediction 12th January 2018, Don't forget you can use fraction of a P. I cant believe the predicted variations, somebody has got to be a winner closely followed by a lot of losers. However is the SP ends up the mean of the current predictions we would have all done very well. bobf = 27p Bolgas = 64p General Levy = 35p Oldfool13 = 36p faramog = 14p Oilychan = 24p Pinecone54 = 18p Sbuild = 32p ianous = 12p kiwi058 = 58p terof = 70p LawrenceH = 68p James2708 = 11p Cheek212 = 88p Tony_P = 33p Doncaster = 16p Baldness = 13p bongabob = 5.5p Aletank = 8p Auds = 84p Ldninvestor123 = 59p IsolatedBod = 9.4p fatbanker = 11.25p hotchips = 38.2p pablo2 = 9.9p

Great words Bolgas with a high SP prediction. If your prediction is anywhere near right at the end of the year I will be handing my notice in without a doubt and retiring.
