Telecom,
OK, after much musing over this, I think the 100kW will go to Acciona next, in fact it might already be with them.
Juelich have very likely already seen it working at IAV (as only being 4 hours away), and when they say they won't be ready to take it until H2 2023 that could be as long a wait as December, so I'd say it would go to Acciona who can likely take it straight away.
"The liquid cooled technology, referred to as the "S+" Series was delivered to Germany for independent validation in October 2022"
So has it been away from AFC for 5 months, my guess is not at IAV that long. I suspect maybe up to 3 months of testing to validate longevity, then discussions with ABB E-Mobility on the financial agreement and 10 x 200kW systems. So it could have been shipped to Acciona in January or February, whilst terms of agreement were negotiated with ABB.
