Market waking up finally, especially helped by the bids received confirmation update. Let's remember, in positive productive discussions with GE and CMEC for JDA/JV where we keep 40% of a project that's expected to produce revenue of $300million annually. Tomorrow is the first PROPER attack on 8p. I think we'll cracking it

You sell this to well me ol mucker Laxey! There's nothing like this on AIM. We are visibly talking to General Electric (GE) and CMEC (a Chinese giant), with recent RNSs confirming this is on. Market still waking up to realising what massive, concrete, genuine upside there is. Not long to go.

Up until recently, volumes weren't significant and so off loading those placed shares weren't as simple. BWTFDIK

Med, there was a planing some months back, at 5p. Could be the last of the placed stock. If this were the case, then can see why no notification necessary

They're buys

Excellent article, with a strong mention of GE leading the way. As a few of us have said, GE have the tech, infrastructure and the funds to realise any project. And where the third and developing world are concerned, Coal2Power projects are the way to go for efficiencies and scale of economy. GE and CMEC.are not talking to NCCL for no good reason and this article's mention of GE shows that NCCL won't be a one off Coal2Power project. NCCL is the beginning but is a crucial piece of the jigsaw. Land NCCL, and develop an already advanced programme and transfer expertise globally. You can see why GE-CMEC approached NCCL and why they are 'keen to move the project on.' (Chief development Officer's own words). Nailed on in my view!

NCCL is not just about a project with great prospects, given national and wider African regional context (i.e. ready market), it's about the future, as my good man Laxey has also pointed.

The article mentions purchase of software tech companies and also Alstom, which GE owns. All coming to a head with NCCL! Holding to the end here as this, in my view, is only going one way. Partners - 'juggernauts' - eager to move the project on, absolutely brimming with the tech, expertise, infrastructure and the funds, and the need to put to use recent acquisitions and put right recent declines.

[Continued...] NeuCo�s software collects and analyzes data from steam turbines, generators and other technology working inside coal-fired power plants. GE Power acquired much of this technology with Alstom last year. Some of these machines are already highly efficient. Last fall, the Rheinhafen-Dampfkraftwerk electrical-generation facility (RDK 8) in Karlsruhe, Germany, which is using GE technology, achieved a 47.5 percent net thermal efficiency while producing 912 megawatts of electricity, a world record. Why coal? As much as we would like the fuel to stay in the ground, it still supplies nearly 30 percent of global energy consumption � its highest share since 1970 � and provides 40 percent of the world�s electricity. While this number is expected to drop to 30 percent by 2040 (34 percent in America), coal will remain the backbone of the power systems in many countries, despite new capacity coming from natural gas and renewables. If coal-fired plants are not going away, Bell and his team want to make them cleaner and more efficient by combining NeuCo�s software with Predix and mining data coming from sensors inside the plants for valuable insights. RDK8 3Dview NeuCo�s software, for example, optimizes fuel and air distribution for a coal plant�s boilers. Boilers are essential to the overall efficiency and performance of coal-fired plants. Too much air and the plant generates costly and unnecessary emissions, while too little air leaves unburned coal and wastes fuel. The software finds the sweet spot between fuel and air intake and optimizes the internal temperature of the boiler to ensure the most efficient burn. �Think of it like cruise control for a car that adjusts acceleration (and fuel consumption) to maintain a set speed far more efficiently than a human can,� Bell says. All GE businesses are linking machines to the cloud. GE Transportation plans to optimize entire rail networks, GE Aviation is focusing on fleets of passenger jets and GE Healthcare is using software and analytics to improve treatment and reduce costs.

Uber, the world�s most valuable cab company, owns no taxis. Airbnb, the world�s busiest accommodations business, owns no hotels and Facebook, the world�s largest social media company, creates very little content. Instead, they use software and advanced data analytics to match supply with demand and give customers what they are looking for in the most direct way. GE Power, the GE business unit that makes heat- and electricity-generation equipment but owns very few power plants, is now taking a similar approach to the power industry. It uses software, data analytics and deep industry knowledge to make power plants run better and help utilities generate more power at a lower cost and reduce their emissions. The unit can do that because GE has its own software and analytics business called GE Digital, and developed Predix, a cloud-based software platform for the Industrial Internet. Today GE Power added more muscle when it acquired NeuCo, Inc., a Boston-based software and data analytics startup focused on improving fossil-fuel-fired power plants. The price of the acquisition hasn�t been disclosed. �The problem of generating sufficient power to meet the world�s growing electricity needs is substantially a big data problem,� said Ganesh Bell, chief digital officer for GE Power. �Only data science can pinpoint the types of 1 and 2 percent productivity gains which, when scaled globally, can dramatically impact productivity and reduce fuel consumption and emissions.� [...]

...and this is a good stock!

Agreed Splatted and Med

Will bounce back, fundamentals are solid and the re-rate will continue. Once we clear 8p, it'll fly from there...

We still need 50% to catch KIBO in terms of market cap, shows how much genuine, legitimate upside there is from here, even before news.

Thoroughly agree Laxey! Better put than I

*own words

Sense GE-CMEC approach to NCCL is their careful positioning in that picture. Coal2Power projects are the way to go for their improved efficiencies and scales of economy. NCCL being advanced with all major political and policy hurdles dealt with already, is a great if not the best place for GE-CMEC to kick things off - remembering our Chief Development Officer's own, 'Partners are keen to move the project on...'

This will not only make up for recent declining fortunes for GE but bring GE's acquisition of Alstom into play.

...has huge upside in the coming years, especially on the developing/third world Glimpsed a synopsis of an industry report a week ago, GE and Alstom (which is owned by GE) both named as key players.

Brybags, you better keep posting or else I'll come looking
