Interesting concept but problems with grid connections as we know Meygen doesn’t have that issue good video though.

Also noted David Whelans reply

“ Download the platform and meet one of our team inside for a full tour. We have a big 6 months coming up with some major updates and features.”

So what might the features and major updates be ?

We know school of AI in September Meta is launching Meta for education and a new head set a light version still with pass through but with a lower cost again could be ideal for education with pre installed apps maybe .

Finally found this really interesting from Chris Madsen live streaming in 360 surely has huge potential?

Any feedback much appreciated .

All looks on track record 6 months with customers increasing contracts plenty of cash in bank what’s not too like apart from the SP .

New Cavendish report out still 20p price target .

Regvarney (from on the buses ) that takes me back 😂

Not so sure of a 20p target at the moment most people really don’t understand the evolution of the internet to immersive communication.

Big numbers

Thanks Phyl 👍

“The team at SAE and MeyGen welcome the Government’s announcement today to increase the budget for tidal stream deployment. Tidal stream energy can provide predictable renewable energy at scale, and we are fully aligned with the government’s ambition in this regard. Our experience at MeyGen has taught us that the technology delivers and is now ready to be scaled. We would like to thank all those involved in championing the industry and the MeyGen site, and we look forward to working with the Government to ensure we maximise the opportunity."

Morning TL in the other rounds we have had the largest piece of the pie so reason to be optimistic looks like the ring fenced budget for tidal has been increased to a minimum of £15m

Tidal pot has got a boost 👍

A further £270m is earmarked for emerging technologies such as floating offshore wind and tidal, an uplift of £165 million.

Evening Pask I have to say I haven’t seen anything along that line would be interested in reading it if you can find anything in relation .

Many thanks OT

For reference only this is what SJP have been using Engage platform for .

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/engagexr_metaverse-activity-7130880538055184385-QcSP

Morning BBN

SJP have been a customer of Engage for a number of years however very recently they have been expanding their presence on Engage Link in the Enterprise Plazza so find it hard to believe they used a different platform although it is a possibility.

SJP seem to be making good use of the Engage platform

Thanks MKS can see Pearson are still in Engage Link in the education plazza let’s hope they have renewed contract 🤞Should get some news and updates very soon .

Noticed Alistair Carmichael asked a few questions in parliament yesterday.

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of setting a one gigawatt deployment target for tidal stream energy for 2035.

Answer

The Government will continue to review the merits of setting a target for tidal stream deployment and will continue to engage with stakeholders on this.

Tidal stream is a home-grown industry of considerable promise, and the UK remains the world leader in tidal stream generation technologies, with over half of the world's deployment of this innovation situated in UK waters.

(Quite positive I thought considering Meygen supplied in excess of 90% if Uk tidal energy)

Also asked by the same

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he plans to take to ensure domestic manufactured content is embedded in tidal stream projects.

Answer

The Government continues to engage with tidal stream industry on maintaining high levels of UK content in tidal stream projects.

Asked by the same

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of increasing the minimum ringfence for Tidal Stream projects to £30 million for Allocation Round 6 of the upcoming Contracts for Difference auction.

Answer

The minimum budget for tidal stream was set in March at £10m.

The Secretary of State will confirm his decision on whether to increase the AR6 budget by 1st August, before the AR6 bidding window opens.
