2026 for full plant production is the "target" date, check out AJ Bell (Shares Mag) presentation video Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReivU5J3rSE&t=1166s , at 19 minutes you see a slide saying 2026. Its way too early to talk of first orders and quantities. Need output from pilot plant (construction completing this April coming) and analysed by potential customers, then we can get to orders and volumes or offtake agreement as Dumbpunter stated. That said we know of one very large interested party in the form of a government.
In that presentation, the key dates stated were:
1. Start pilot plant in April 2023 (that is construction completion of the pilot plant, listen what GB states at 13 mins where he says its a completion target and its output is for "design data" not to be seen as an initial revenue stream)
2. BFS completed by end 2023
3. Finance full production project in H1 2024
4. "Breaking Ground" (start main construction) in 2024
5. Commissioning by end of 2025
6. Production in 2026.
The presentation also covers target revenues and costs, see slide at 13:50 for example. Firm details cannot exist until final commercial agreements are in place and even then will be commercially sensitive information I expect. Have a listen to the presentation, plenty of good detail. For example if you want to know the main customers RBW expect to have, listen in at the answer to that question at 30:45 (which by implication then explains the USA Government interest).
