I agree Spud seems most likely - one or more client's with buy orders to fill and sells allowing them to get the price they want. Expect to see more imo but they better get a move on as I have a feeling we will get another milestone update any day now. In my experience some have been caught out waiting and sitting on the sidelines to get an order through .1/.2/.3p a share cheaper at which point they miss the next big rise and end up paying way more. Very risky at this stage with Infa! Chilston welcome as Spud said you've timed it just right here ....

Demand for gas in Europe is seasonal and is projected to grow in the long term. However, in future the demand is projected to out strip storage capacity if the planned future addition is not implemented at the right time. Amid the regulatory environment, Europe faces an increased need for flexibility in the gas market. Flexibility not only brings a level playing field within various players, but also brings in market-based allocation of gas storage capacity. While salt caverns require the highest initial investments for development, they provide the lowest per unit costs for gas storage. This is due to the high deliverability of salt caverns, which is higher than both depleted reservoirs and aquifers. Changing weather patterns are making seasonal predictions more difficult which will put more value on storage facilities that can respond to quick changes in demand. Since injection and withdrawal costs are sensitive to the amount of pressure in the storage facility , these costs are likely to change in the coming years with increased use of the facilities.

David Marshall aka rapiddave is on Twitter and is the author. Also co wrote by Asha who is on Twitter. The blog has been posted online and now all over Twitter so I think it's only a matter of time before this gets noticed by the big investor's. With latest appointment of a CBRE adviser project imo is starting to de-risk and SP should begin to reflect this. Further imminent updates along with publication of this blog and increased PR will certainly get the attention Infa deserves and this will fly :)

Just read it - very good indeed!!

PFI Issue 627 - June 13, 2018 The £216m acquisition of fast response distributed generator UK Power Reserve (UKPR) last week is part of Sembcorp’s plan to build a sizeable portfolio of gas-fired power assets in the UK. It wants to build what it calls an integrated merchant energy business in the UK from its Wilton Teesside industrial estate hub.

100% agree there!

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/06/16/british-reliance-french-energy-increases-quarter ................................................................................... The UK is dependent on energy imports to keep its lights on CREDIT: ALAMY Jillian Ambrose, energy editor 16 JUNE 2018 • 8:00PM The UK’s reliance on importing French power to keep the lights on has increased by almost a quarter this year in further evidence of Britain’s energy cost crunch. Energy prices in Britain are now around a fifth higher than they were this time last year on the wholesale market. Energy brokers at Marex Spectron told The Sunday Telegraph that the “anomalously strong” imports from France are closer in line with Britain’s winter appetite for foreign energy than typical summer trends. UK power prices hit 10-year highs in March following the freezing temperatures brought by the “Beast from the East” and show no sign of returning to typical summer prices due to the strong price of gas. The Siberian storm drained gas from storage facilities across Europe in the final weeks of winter, making it more difficult for suppliers to replenish the stocks over the summer.

The following charts show the gas data flows from the Moffat interconnector for Jan to March 2018. Interesting to note in the data that the dates highlighted in yellow show that on 21 occasions during the 3 months a 'notice of potential supply deficit' was issued by GNI grid control to shippers. On 3 separate dates a 'notice of potential supply deficit' was also issued where this occurs on 2 occasions in the same day! Considering the Moffat interconnector is the only entry point for gas into N.I and the ROI, this highlights how valuable a storage facility in N.I would be for security of supply especially during times of peak demand................................................................................................... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qB20qQi5o9XeMPIKQQpYg7zq6ol71oJx/view?usp=drivesdk .......... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gt8VkrTQMxYnbV6CKyOrHxbDHKif-vLM/view?usp=drivesdk .......... https://drive.google.com/file/d/11A7ZKy32tywQuxWknOn4fHGRgOBt8pCJ/view?usp=drivesdk

The Prospects for Gas Storage helenwest1 2 weeks ago Speakers: Roddy Monroe, Independent Chair of the Gas Storage Operators Group; Nick Perry, Senior Advisor, Timera Energy; Will Webster, Energy Policy Manager, Oil and Gas UK 26th May 2018 All-Party Parliamentary Group on Energy Costs Prospects for Gas Storage Chair: Lord Palmer .............relevant points from meeting....................... This afternoon we are examining the prospects for gas storage. The closure of the Rough facility, imports of Russian LNG, and the Beast from The East have together raised concerns over security of gas supply. ............ This winter National Grid indicated to the market that more supply was needed and some industrial customers and power stations were paid to reduce their loads. ........... Providing Flexible Gas Mid-range storage (or huff and puff storage) provides the market with a high degree of short term flexibility (inter day, intra day and inter week) It has capacity to fill (relatively) quickly when prices are low and empty quickly when prices rise. ........... Providing summer priced gas in the winter Seasonal gas storage i.e. Rough (and to a lesser extend mid-range storage) moves summer priced gas to winter reducing average cost of gas ............ Some assets are aging therefore increase in cost to operate safety & re-investments shelved/abandoned given economic environment for operators (ie. Hornsea has mothballed 1/3 of its delivery capability, Rough has now closed) ............. Why should policymakers care? So what if more storage closes and no more is built? .............. Tightness predicted for mid-2020s Existing supplies of flexible gas are set to reduce: Groningen: 2013 supplied 50 bcm (70% in the winter), by 2020 it is forecast to supply 12 bcm flat Interconnectors: CAM is restricting product offerings, aging infrastructure may result in less EU storage being available UKCS: on a continuous decline with aging assets / fields (FES predicts by 2030 fully depleted) LNG: demand pull to Asia/China NCS – offers some flex but production expected to start to decline in 2020s Demand may increase Coal to be phased out by 2025 to be replaced with gas generation Large number of gas peakers being built – even if we have little new CCGT capacity coming on stream as yet. The point is that the peak electricity price setters are likely to be gas – so gas price spikes will often ‘knock on’ into electricity price spikes as well.

Hopefully 10p will be the new .4 soon.....ever hopeful lol

Setanta - I personally don't think we'll have long to wait for more news I certainly wouldn't agree that we have exhausted good news here. I believe that either we are close to a deal on the 2/3rds of the funding or we are pretty much there with an agreement. This imo would certainly make sense as with the appointment of a CBRE adviser they would have a much easier job of raising the remaining 1/3rd with the knowledge that the UKGS covered funding is pretty much nailed on.

Thomas - today's announcement regarding CBRE's appointment as an adviser for Infa is world's apart from the £1.5M we were trying to raise from the CBRE £100M pot of money as part of the N.I investment fund. The project has moved on substantially since then. The decision on the £1.5M wasn't reached in time to kick start the FEED and nothing more has been heard on this since. The placing had to happen quickly so we would benefit from the EU grant within strict deadlines. My understanding from today's RNS is that the CBRE will hopefully raise the remaining 1/3rd of the whole construction costs not covered by the UKGS (let's say for arguments sake £100M) with the rest to be covered by a lender benefitting from the UKGS (roughly £200M). So the potential deal here with the CBRE is poles apart from the FEED money we were trying to obtain earlier this year. Just thought it was worth pointing out. As for the SP the market will cotton on here soon enough how potentially huge this could be.....

The bod certainly have chosen wisely re big name appointments - just goes to show that appreciation Costain, DEEP Kbb, Mr Passaris and CBRE must have in the value of not just it's assets but potential project value as this gets developed..................for anyone that missed it here's a video on the Islandmagee Gas storage project that was filmed when Spud and I visited the site last week.............. https://youtu.be/WNLmZR45x-E

sorry should have read "is important that we will have access to the major investment that will be necessary to complement the funds available under the UK Guarantee Scheme to ensure that we are able to move into the construction phase" ......this is happening!

Alliance News::InfraStrata Evaluates Raising New Capital For Islandmagee PrBookmark this page Alliance News InfraStrata Evaluates Raising New Capital For Islandmagee Project Fri, 15th Jun 2018 10:51 LONDON (Alliance News) - InfraStrata PLC said Friday it has appointed CBRE Indirect Investment Services Ltd to provide advise on raising capital from third-party financial partners for the Islandmagee gas storage project in Northern Ireland. "As the FEED progresses, it is important that we will have access to the major investment that will be necessary to complement the funds available under the UK Guarantee Scheme to ensure that we are able to move into the construction phase of the programme, as seamlessly as possible," Chief Executive Adrian Pocock said. ............................."important that we will have the funds available under the UKGS to ensure that we are able to move into the construction phase" ........this is why I believe discussions with interested parties on the 2/3rds part of the funding covered under the UKGS must be at a very advanced stage.....Setanta no doubt in my mind - Infa WILL get built! :)
