That's a great article Paludina, Eskom are paving the way for off-grid power across SA - which can only be very good news for BE :-)

Great news Pdub, onwards and upwards! :-)

22k-ish @ 31.475, never thought I'd get another chance to buy at this price! Thank you sellers! :-)

Wow jeffry, combine the two and you've discovered BMN! ;-)

Don't be frightened Filthy, it's only words...

Good luck Pdub, hope all goes well for you and you're soon back on here telling it like you see it! ;-)

Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be V based (the article doesn’t say what it consists of other than it’s an aqueous solution), and it’s still in the early stages of testing but - if you’ll pardon the expression - it adds fuel to the fire that is being described as ‘The 4th Industrial Revolution’ https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1087860/Electric-car-battery-breakthrough-flow-recharge-seconds/amp

It's always good to keep an eye on the competition but in this case Tando's output, together with other newbies, could help to keep the price of V within reasonable bounds and therefore allow VRFBs to achieve their full potential

Hi James, I seem to recall that Wogen pay BMN for their shipments and then the customer pay Wogen according to their own payment rules eg 30 days/ 90 days etc, Altho I’m unsure of exactly when Wogen pay Bushy it removes the waiting period for payment. I believe we pay Wogen 5% of the shipment value for providing this service. You may be able to track down more detail on this by trawling back thru the RNSs, sadly I’ve got visitors atm so don’t have time to assist further. Hope this helps

As the country deals with a fresh round of load shedding, a Northern Cape solar plant has come online to power nearly 180,000 homes.

With Eskom struggling to secure power supply, energy experts have emphasised the critical role that renewable energy plays in the country's energy mix.

At a cost of R12 billion, the Kathu Solar Park was constructed by engineering and technology group SENER and global renewable energy company ACCIONA Industrial.

With citizens reaching for rechargeable lights and getting used to the sound of generators kicking in, the focus has once against shifted to government's ability to keep the lights on and utilising more renewable energy sources to do so.

On hundred megawatts of electricity is being tapped into the grid after the Kathu concentrating solar power plant started operating at the end of January.

SENER Southern Africa's, Siyabonga Mbanjwa, explains the plant will also cut back CO2 emissions by six million tonnes over the next 20 years.

"Clearly we need to fast-track a lot of these renewable energy projects going forward. They are much smaller but they are much quicker to get off the ground and a lot of them are completed on time and within budget."

Mbanjwa says this technology also provides electricity at peak periods between 5pm and 10pm at night.

The company is one of 112 renewable energy independent power producers contracted by government to provide more than 6,400 megawatts of electricity.

And they'll all need energy storage of some sort

Sorry cc, misread your posts. Yes, I agree that there has been someone selling in 50k chunks but there's also been someone buying in 50k chunks. Maybe the seller has stopped but the buyer continues...?

Unlikely as all 50k trades this morning have been buys, and the reason I know this is that there are sells all around them at a much lower price

Good suggestion Mask, we'll all blame you! :-)

"By Monday night, Eskom said four units had returned to service and the remaining three would be up and running by Tuesday."

And I'd also like to add my best wishes for you and for Claire tomorrow, hoping for the right result for you guys

A lot of effort going into forcing the sp down before close, someone really doesn't want us to finish blue, it seems

rephrase: '...as far as we know, the prep work completed before the start of the South African holidays in December 2018'

Lindon, I don't see any target missed there? The prep work recommenced in Nov and, for all we know, the prep work ended on time.
