I would say that at some point these systems will need to be covered by some type of insurance before going out to customers on hire .....Maybe FAT is a requirement from the insurance company.... t's&c's apply ?
Exactly Daz9643.... Up until this point the Power Tower's have only been on trial and none have been sold .....now being prepared for sale and FAT checked ?.....Still no mention of ever being CE marking approved ....
How many Power Tower's are back at AFC HQ ....7, 8, 9 ,?...plus any new build systems we have not been told about .....The only system we are aware of is the KIER system still out on extended trial.... So clearly these Power Tower's that are left at HQ will be refreshed and sent to Speedy after FAT checking .....
All subject to JV performance, through initial equity subscriptions and subsequent shareholder loans. This will enable SHS to purchase 30kw H-Power Generators from AFC Energy..... so the first systems to the JV will not be the 30kVA ....they may arrive following successful inital deployments....as stated in the July RNS ...... " Once established, the JV will initially purchase 30kW H-Power Generators from AFC Energy for a consideration of c.£2m in aggregate. The first of these systems are expected to be available later this year. Beyond this initial commitment, Speedy and AFC Energy plan to increase orders for H-Power Generators in line with the expected growing demand for zero emission power across the UK construction and temporary power market "
Would the RNS yesterday not have mentioned the fact that AFC will be supplying 30kVA Generators to the JV? ....These systems have yet to break cover ....no field trials and no CE marking .....How can you assume the 30kVA systems are ready for use ? unless AFC are making announcements out of sequence ....
We also have the agreement with Brett Aggregates to look foward to ....as announced in July https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/AFC/afc-energy-secures-16343m-uk-government-grant-70zu9qmnosjlxkp.html
This was from a magazine artical almost 18 months ago ...... " ABB says it has completed the proof of concept for a new solution in partnership with AFC Energy, using an ammonia-based fuel cell and the latest power conversion technologies " Must be due some news soon on the 200kW system delivery .
Https://www.youtube.com/shorts/x4S9OeyfiaQ Not long now .
Speedy will be an exhibitor at this upcoming event ..... https://www.terrapinn.com/exhibition/highways-uk/highways-uk-ga.stm?trc=garm&gclid=CjwKCAjwvrOpBhBdEiwAR58-3Kss0IA0kxr5ty37OqiS0R3oGe9iG_Dylq-2f5u6BPmeR5oaAfumRRoC-IgQAvD_BwE ... Free tickets i believe?

That was never in dispute .....first we need the CE marking to make the product ready for sale .....if sales do not come then questions can be asked .....just seems that some have thrown in the towel already.

From the July interim report ....." 200kW system specification consistent with first ABB system order with preparation for CE marking commenced " ..... not long now .... as you cannot CE mark a product that is not ready for sale .
This weekend at Brands Hatch Speedy continue their support for BSB .... Will AFC be there ? ... https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mike-derome-42048515_speedy-are-pleased-to-be-the-power-behind-activity-7098319225068380160-Lzt8?trk=public_profile_share_view
Could speedy be using this event for the Power Tower....? https://www.speedyservices.com/superbikes . Brands Hatch BSB event 13 -16 th October.....Plenty of exposure there .
Garonne..... Since the trial deployment programme began .... Do you know of any Power Towers falling over ?...or have arrived on site damaged as a result of shoddy transportation ? As i understand it ....The Power Tower was designed to have a minimum footprint as requested from customer feedback .

From the speedy /JV RNS .... "The collaboration will take the form initially of AFC Energy providing Speedy with its existing H-Power Tower Generators on a cross-hire basis on commercial terms " .It seems that Speedy are well aware that the new systems will follow and the use of the Power Towers in the current format is to be shown to potential customers while we await the new systems ....and hopefully some orders .

The new 30 kw systems will be of the more traditional shape ...this is what we are expecting very shortly ...https://www.afcenergy.com/our-offering/technology-products scrol down the page to find the new systems .
