Made it up,
Not sure that GBEnergy has anything positive for UKOG at all.
Their 3 priorities are:-
1. new technology in floating wind, tidal and hydrogen power
2. Scale and accelerate mature renewable technologies such as wind, solar and nuclear
3. Scale up local energy - to help create a more decentralised energy system - actually sounds anti- large scale storage......
Here's what the web site says:-
'Great British Energy will have three initial priorities working alongside private partners:
1.Co-investing in new technologies: Great British Energy will help speed up and scale the deployment of new technologies, with public investment helping to crowd in investment in areas like floating offshore wind, tidal power and hydrogen as they develop into mature technologies.
2. Scale and accelerate mature technologies: Great British Energy will also help scale and accelerate the roll-out of mature technologies, like wind, solar and nuclear. It will partner with existing private sector firms to speed up deployment of mature renewable technologies to meet our ambitious clean power timelines. It will also build organisational capability and expertise to deliver energy megaprojects like nuclear power stations, reducing project and construction risk.
3.Scale up municipal and community energy: GB Energy will partner with energy companies, local authorities and cooperatives to develop 8GWs small-scale and medium-scale community energy projects. Profits will flow directly back into local communities to cut bills, not to the shareholders of foreign companies. This will help to create a more decentralised energy system, with more local generation and ownership, and will help to create a more resilient energy system.'
The storage allocation round is what may help UKOG, but every time there someone posts something supposedly positive for UKOG (except UKOG's PR) it looks more and more like it might not be one of the chosen projects for an associated storage & transport allocation.
