It has to happen to keep renewables competitive otherwise the electricity they produce will be way to much during summer months and be wasted or even worse exported abroad at a cheaper rate.
I notice Scotland are producing more renewables than than nuclear and coal. I don't think REDT will take off as quick as the boiler so should give Jabil time to gear up.
Spellbrook great update especially the Austiran company bit. Jabil are no mugs and will no doubt find ways of reducing costs even further nce they start production they have a lot of clout and will buy parts in bulk.
We waited until we could manufacture the battery on a large scale to make it cheaper. Jabil, the second largest global manufacturer has allowed us to reduce the cost by 40%. This is important as there is only one other company, based in Austria, who have been selling the technology for two years, and although we have different patents, the underlying technology is the same. The only difference between the two systems is that we are 40% cheaper," added McGregor
