Hi Stokey,
I wouldn't mind seeing H&W own and operate the facility or going into a partnership with a major player (eg Shell, Storengy, Jim Ratcliffe )with skills transfer. I think there is sufficient knowledge base within UK and Ireland covering physical and commercial operation of storage facilities and their interactions with System Operators Control Rooms. I don't think headcount requirements are high?. Thought I read somewhere that the Energy Bill might change the rules on who was allowed to own storage / generation assets. This might change the game on who we could partner with. I think AR also has a commercial background in gas which hopefully supports a proper evaluation of options with other experts.
