I would like to know how many back-up diesel generators the current 'major telecoms' customer is running in Africa. Since 'major' telecoms companies can have thousands of base stations in rural areas, I would be interested to know how many of the 'Acta Power' units can be made per month because at some point Acta are going to get an order for hundreds of Acta Power units to replace hundreds of diesel generators. If capacity already exists to manufacture in large numbers, then I'm not sure what there is to worry about because ultimately of course the customer will be paying for the product. ------- eg. Telecoms company with many rural base stations: 'In related news, China Mobile earlier this month said it is considering installing solar-powered base stations in Pakistan, where it operates a network serving 6.5 million subscribers. China Mobile noted that rolling power shortages are affecting nearly all areas of the South Asian country, where the operator has 4,500 base stations.' http://www.businessgreen.com/bg/news/1802444/chinas-huawei-supply-solar-powered-base-stations-bangladesh

75,000 base stations, just in Nigeria: Feb 2013 - 'The scary thing is that telecoms companies need more base stations to provide better services with Nigeria alone requiring about 75,000 base stations to cater for a population of 160 million people' http://greentechradar.com/2013/02/11/how-africas-mobile-phones-are-fuelling-climate-change/ 35,000 Euro X 75,000 base stations = a profit. I think 2.6 Billion but the calculator broke :)

Proactive Investors: 'Our view: Acta receiving its first order for the Acta Power system so soon after its launch underscores the large and growing demand for such self-recharging fuel cell systems in the telecommunications market. Acta Power could well be a game changer for the company as the product addresses the back-up requirements of telecom base stations in off-grid or bad grid locations, mitigating the cost and logistical barriers of hydrogen delivery to base stations in inaccessible sites. Acta’s recent participation in the Hannover Messe has already begun to yield rewards with the company receiving several commercial engagement opportunities. The last one year has been a transformational period for Acta, during which it has signed several new marketing and distribution partnerships, launched eight new products and product modules, and carried out the first-time shipment of larger and more advanced electrolyser systems. Acta also welcomed Heliocentris as an investor and strategic partner, increasing its distribution into the educational market within Germany, Africa and the Middle East. Considering Acta’s unique set of patented technologies and the massive potential for back-up power systems in emerging markets, we believe the company is well poised to create shareholder value. We maintain a Speculative Buy rating on the stock.' http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/columns/beaufort-securities/13063/beaufort-securities-breakfast-today-including--13063.html

I know, I want another 100k but no spare cash at the moment - This telecoms company could have hundreds of base stations. Huge potential imo........ Coverage: 'Acta confirms first sale of integrated back up fuel cell power system' http://www.supergenfuelcells.co.uk/aggregator/categories/1

No, not bought more yet - Soon I hope. GL

Oh yeah, forgot about the new customers. Will try to double holding here. GL

Nice 500k holding there - The major telecoms company may have hundreds of remote base stations planned. Seems far more exciting to me than that Isle of White thing.

6.25 bid - 6.40 ask Based on 5,000 or 50,000 shares ipredictariot, looking forward to the possibility of the major telecoms company putting in a huge order. Would be interested to know how many remote base stations they are looking to install in Africa.

Feb 2013 'Nearly 400,000 Off-Grid Mobile Telecommunications Base Stations Employing Renewable or Alternative Energy Sources Will be Deployed From 2012 to 2020................Africa, a continent with rapidly growing telecom infrastructure, will account for more than 23,500 deployments in 2020 – 28 percent of the world total, according to the report.' http://www.navigantresearch.com/newsroom/nearly-400000-off-grid-mobile-telecommunications-base-stations-employing-renewable-or-alternative-energy-sources-will-be-deployed-from-2012-to-2020

November 2011 'Africa is the fastest-growing mobile market in the world' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15659983

"The system is to be placed on trial with a major international mobile telecoms company, at a base station located in Africa..............The system is due to be shipped to the client in June 2013 for commencement of the on-site trial, which is expected to run for up to three months. Subject to the successful completion of the trial Acta expects to undertake a larger-scale installation of Acta Power systems for their remote base station sites." -------- Brilliant news. Possibly just 3 months away from a large order.

Opportunity yet?

yes, I have the same feeling

Opportunity ? Max buy 25,000 shares at 6.5p (Barclays)

Just a matter of time before the €40,000 units start flying out the door.

Yeah ticked up to 7.40 for 50k, oh well

Akel, yep some decent buys showing up @ 7.25.......

up, down, this share can't make up its mind but news was good

Another positive RNS, hopefully they will shift a few of the €30,000-€40,000 'Acta Power' units this year.
