G8 RNS. This is a separate project to the gas and green hydrogen storage. It's about compressed air energy storage materialising from wind power. At the moment the world is wasting much of our wind power because we can only store it for a few days. This is billions of pounds worth of electricity. The CoES has been verified by Siemens, the international engineering company as a sound and feasible project. That's why this is not reliant on the gas licence.
However the gas licence is expected too- described by Ben Clube, as having reached a critical milestone and with support from government and the local authority and a business and community group formed to support progress. He says the government are giving them a lot of support and encouragement.
On the COES Project, the subject of this RNS, they will be announcing contracts and investors soon.
The funding is not necessarily immediately dilutive. The first £5 million won't be redeemed until the sp hits a significant premium to the current share price. The rest will be put on the market at the market price as and when they need it. A good deal imo.
