And the couple from Alice springs win........ a speed-boat....!

In the UK it would be Coventry, the most 'in-land' part of the British Isles.

Just a small snippet from article I posted below:

"Tim has broad, hands on experience of leading successful growth companies, including securing funding either from debt of equity. Tim also has strong international experience of the clean energy generation industry ..."

We need to sign a few of these deals. Is one in-country salesperson actually enough?

DPD extending its partnership with EAV and iw creating a new vehicke based on the P1 (pictured). Could be very good news that:-

Partnership with EAV

That’s not all. DPD is also working with a series of new and innovative suppliers who are focused on developing the next generation of electric vehicles. DPD extended its partnership with the Oxford manufacturer EAV to create a unique vehicle. This partnership followed EAV’s launch of the P1 electric-assist cargo bike in 2019. Considering the type of EV that the P1 electric-assist cargo bike is, we can assume that the unique vehicle would be some type of bike — but we could be wrong

P1 Electric-Assist Cargo Bike

The P1 e-cargo bike could replace vans for deliveries, Treehugger points out. It’s an electric quadricycle made from hemp and cashews. These bikes are a response to the growth of online shopping in London, where air quality is pretty bad.

P1 stands for Project 1. It has a 250-watt motor and pedals while being steered as a traditional bike. It has a thumb switch to accelerate up to 6 mph and is narrow enough to fit down a bike path. It can also hold 6 cargo containers with up to 150 kg (330 pounds).

"The fact that DPD is partnering with EAV to create another type of unique EV for deliveries tells me that not only is this company serious about electrifying its fleet, but it’s investing in an EV maker so that other delivery companies can follow suit. This is vital and much needed in the delivery industry.

Perhaps they are working on an EV for deliveries that are on bikes but also designed to protect the delivery person from the elements during the rain, winter, or extreme heat?

Just call me Rain Man

Time for another flurry of order news.

There was no lie. There was a deal last year that went bad / has been delayed but it is not material in terms of the current business or its prospects. Now you are up to speed.

No, of course I did not sell, I am reviewing my position at Christmas, and not before. If you want my view it will be a lot higher by that stage :-)

It is much as expected. On a par with 2019, with a further 16% increase in net assets.

....... or one could argue that the shine has well and truly worn off as previous enthusiasm turns to nerves and disappointment!

WASHINGTON, June 14, 2018 - The World Bank is committing over half a billion dollars through two projects to support renewable energy in Sindh and expand economic activity between Pakistan and Afghanistan through the development of an economic corridor along the Khyber Pass.  

“The projects will address Sindh’s energy needs through the generation of solar power benefitting the entire province and support trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan through regional connectivity and private sector development along the Khyber Pass corridor,” said Illango Patchamuthu, World Bank Country Director for Pakistan. “The construction of a 48 km four-lane expressway linking Pakistan and its regional trading partners and upgrading the countrys’ infrastructure is an important component of Pakistan’s growth policy.”

The $100 million Sindh Solar Energy Project will reduce Pakistan’s carbon footprint through the development of solar energy. It will support independent power producers to develop 400 MW of new solar power capacity (starting with an initial 50 MW pilot project) and provide partial grants to private sector firms for the commercial provision of Solar Home Systems to 200,000 households. The project will also help gain knowledge and experience in developing solar photovoltaic (PV) schemes on/around public buildings.

The $460.6 million Khyber Pass Economic Corridor Project will benefit consumers, producers, and traders in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia by supporting private sector investmen and reducing transport time and cost. Better infrastructure and more efficient border crossing will help Afghan medical patients and students coming to Pakistan. The project will alleviate key constraints to the integration of private sector actors in Khyber Agency into global value chains.

With a likely access deficit in both the availability and quality of electricity supply, Pakistan has the
potential to be a large market for SHSs at a time when commercial provisioning of such systems is starting to take off. 4 However, Pakistan’s SHS market is characterized as early-stage, with the only limited
adoption of high quality systems and pay-as-you-go technology, despite a potential market size of 22
million households.
Sindh Province is key to increasing the share of renewable energy generation in Pakistan and to developing
new ways of providing electricity access. With excellent solar resources, the remoteness of off-grid
villages, the inability of many consumers to afford grid connections, and the erratic provision of power
argue in favor of expanding the SHS market, with technically and commercially sustainable product
solutions.
Sindh Energy Department (SED) has obtained financing and technical support from the World Bank to
expand solar power and increase access to electricity under the Sindh Solar Energy Project (SSEP).

Component 3 of SSEP targets the second of these objectives, and includes the target of providing SHSs to
200,000 households within the five year project timeline.

The development objective of Sindh Solar Energy Project for Pakistan, aims to increase solar power generation and access to electricity in Sindh Province. This project has four components. 1) The first component, Utility-Scale Solar, aims for identification and development of a series of publicly owned solar parks, and support for the competitive selection of private sector developers through solar auction for the construction of solar power plants in the solar parks. 2) The second component, Distributed Solar, aims for procurement and installation of solar PV systems and associated energy management systems on rooftops and other available space on and around public sector buildings. 3) The third component, Solar Home Systems, aims for deployment of affordable SHSs in prioritized areas with low or no access to electricity, analysis and identification of priority areas, activities to enhance consumer awareness and financial literacy, product certification and quality control, and Monitoring and evaluation (M and E) activities. 4) The fourth component, Capacity Building and Technical Assistance, aims to support the design and implementation of the project and compliance with fiduciary, gender, M and E, procurement, and safeguards requirements.

BACKGROUND
Accurate estimates of the electricity access rate in Pakistan presents several hurdles, but it can reliably be
said that there are significant access gaps, especially in rural areas. The most recent census, in 2017,
indicates that there are over 32 million households in the country, and NEPRA reports just under 23 million
household connections1—which implies an electricity access rate of just over 70 percent. In Sindh
Province, however, the rate is much lower, at 39.6 percent2
. Efforts to bridge the gap in electricity access
have been conducted primarily through grid extension, which is uneconomic in some rural areas because
of low population density, high dispersion among rural settlements, and revenue collection issues.
Provision of off-grid solutions have relied on small hydropower in the northern provinces of the country,
and there have been limited attempts to provide solar home systems (SHSs) in the southern provinces.
However, government-provided solar home systems (SHSs) have often suffered from high rates of system
failure and abandonment, usually due to a lack of long-term operation and maintenance (O&M) support
and limited engagement of the targeted households. In the absence of a decent electricity service,
Pakistani households spend an estimated $2.3 billion annually on alternative lighting products/services
such as kerosene, gas lights, and battery-powered torches3
.
With a likely access deficit in both the availability and quality of electricity supply, Pakistan has the
potential to be a large market for SHSs at a time when commercial prov

Well that does look particularly interesting Sophie, given the public sector angle on the latest deal.
