"When the same weather event happened in 2009 there was not enough gas to cover soaring demand in both east and west Europe at the same time, said Arne Bergvik, chief analyst at power portfolio manager Scandem AB in Orebro, Sweden. Russian exporter Gazprom PJSC ended up cutting exports and accused Ukraine of taking more gas than it paid for." .................................................................... “When all of Europe sees an increase of consumption at the same time, reserves, such as gas storage, is put to the test,” Bergvik said. “Weather in the coming week will test energy markets and support higher coal, power and gas prices.” ....................................................................... “There are signs that this cold spell is likely to last well into next week with possibly even colder air from Russia moving across the U.K.,” the Met Office said Monday on its website.

"TUV leader Jim Allister says he fears the authorities are 'too complacent' about the threat to energy supplies in Northern Ireland posed by the impending closure of Kilroot power station. Mr Allister is to meet the Utility Regulator today to raise concerns about security of electricity supply here - and what he fears will be increasing dependence on the Republic of Ireland. The massive Kilroot power station at Carrickfergus, owned by US energy firm AES, is scheduled to close at the end of May. The American firm also owns Ballylumford power station, which uses natural gas for electricity generation. It too faces job losses as a result of the introduction of a new all-island electricity market." ............................................................................................The security of supply crisis in Ireland is only going to strengthen the case for Infa!

Your about as interesting as a wet lettuce you tool - but yes I'd read the RNS if I was you as per your last post

Good RNS today gives a bit of much needed confidence to shareholders here going forward. Expecting funding to be announced here anytime now. It's funny how nazareme and JR Ewing go quiet when news lands and the SP moves up! Perhaps it's time they chose another share to try and jump on with their negative ramblings as they're wasting their time on Infa. Just a bit of advice naz back your statements up with facts like I do - you might have a tad more credibility if you do lol

http://watt-logic.com/2018/02/14/t-4-capacity-auction/ .................................... “The system is becoming increasingly complex, demand is becoming increasingly unpredictable, and generation is becoming more unpredictable….And it’s the fluctuations between [supply and demand] which is the big problem on the system. For that we need to incentivise flexibility – the capacity market is a simple tool that is not suited to the increasingly complex world. Inflexible plants are being rewarded just for being there, and that doesn’t address the fluctuations where the rate of change between demand and generation is becoming increasingly challenging,” – Jon Ferris, strategy director, Electron

http://interfaxenergy.com/gasdaily/article/29611/german-coal-phase-out-looks-good-for-gas ............... Germany’s recent strides towards phasing out coal have given hope to operators of mothballed gas-fired power plants in the south of the country and increased the likelihood that new gas-fired capacity will be built. The country’s new coalition government agreed in early February to set up a commission responsible for setting an end date for German coal-fired power by the close of 2019.

Hi mate - as far as I'm concerned the minute the funding lands will mark the green light for them to commence the FEED immediately without delay. We wait patiently for what will be a significant announcement when it comes as we can expect regular newsflow to follow when we get confirmation of funding.

Whatever you choose to believe naz makes no difference to me you really are a card lol

It's simple Naz - supply and demand - the market dictates the price not "these rich oil gas men" lol

The slight oversupply naz was only 6mcm - that is likely to change to an undersupplied system if the weather forecasts materialise with med range gas storage being utilised to make up the shortfall! And by the way the market dictates the price not "rich gas oil men" as you put it!

I personally think there is definitely the appetite from investor's and organisations to fund this as Setanta rightly pointed out one potential avenue for the 660k the other day....it's about time the PR wagon started but I suspect we will get an update on funding first then PR will follow. Either way crl it can't come soon enough!

UK GAS-Prices rise on colder weather forecasts Fri, 16th Feb 2018 09:15 Feb 16 (Reuters) - British wholesale gas prices rose on Friday morning on colder weather forecasts, despite a slightly oversupplied system. "The weather forecasts are considerably colder for next week," a trader said Expectations of lower temperatures also helped to lift the front-month contract. March contract up 1.05 p at 50.80 p/therm. "The latest EC45 LDZ (local distribution zone) forecast seems to confirm cold weather outlook for March and a looming cold spell forecast mid-next week are likely to lift/support prompt contracts," analysts at Thomson Reuters said in a daily note.

Setanta - the attempt by a certain poster to wind me up didn't work they certainly tried but failed. I have a pretty thick skin and despite the attempted distraction am still focussed on Infa. However I have to say am not impressed by the lack of PR - us shareholders who were here in the early days that helped to get the votes over the line for AP to take over feel pretty let down so far.

I really do share your frustration crl it would be great if the bod delivered exactly when we expected them too but never happens on AIM! Silence breeds doubt and then fear amongst investor's who then sell. Me? Still not tempted to sell as I mentioned the timelines last night after all these months of being in Infa I think I'm prepared to ride this out to the end of March for the funding as I think it'll be worth the wait. No one knows exactly what day it could land we could get an announcement on it any day.

So not content with trying to insult me you want to start insulting my family?!! That's a new low you've just reached!

Setanta good post....we now need to see some substance once and for all on the funding side. I mean surely 660k to finally get this going shouldn't be too hard to manage? I believe in the project too but some of us so far feel badly let down by the placings, time taken, the absence of positive news and thus erosion in the SP. Like I said last night the funding issue has to be resolved soon which is why it could land anytime therefore am still willing to hold on and see this play out.
