Looks like China is well ahead once again.the world's first SMR has been installed last August. It is planned to supply 1 billion kWH a year, enough electricity for about 500,000 inhabitants of China's largest island.
It saves about 800,000 tonnes of CO2 a year.
That explains why RR shares went up so quickly since.
Possible, but to what point? An all Chinese one would probably be cheaper and perhaps better, given their extensive nuclear power experience.RR can do design work and get their reactors built in China.
Nothing wrong intrinsically, but I question whether British SMRs are the right product, competing with and making alongside the market leader in their own back yard.Tesla makes their cars in China and soon in Mexico and India, RR makes money on servicing so why not manufacture in China?
We'll see.SMR is the general concept for installation, maintenance and decommissioning. SMRs can bring production cost down to the level of wind and solar. I am pretty sure that companies like RR can bring a few good recipes to the party.
That can't happen here, because of the greedy profiteering running rampant in our energy markets.China has production cost of its nuclear power at around 5.5 us cents per KWH. SMRs are supposed to keep production cost low so I have high hope that it'll be true.
Sounds good, and I hope it works out. 2,880kWh would last me about 9 months. All going to plan, if Derril Water solar park gets built and becomes operational late summer 2024, you will have pre-paid all or part of your electricity bill for the next 40 years for £3,000? If enough individuals/households don't invest and they have to borrow to complete the project, might the promised 2,880kWh a year be reduced? Can they add costs? What protections are there for this sort of investment scheme? Will the government refund you if Derril Water solar park doesn't get built?For my chrissy present, I have bought in to a co-op share of Derril Water solar park.
My 3k investment buys 2880 kwh of leccy for 40 years, during that period should my life end then the remaining years left of the co-op share goes to an inheritor.
Derril Water if all goes to plan should be up and generating from late summer 2024, the farm is expected to have over 15,000 individuals/households having green solar supplied via a green energy supplier such as Octopus , Bulb, Co-op, M&S , etc,etc.
It does indeed cost 60,000 Canadian dollars. Two separate customers provided documents and part number to show it. One of the customers, like you, didn't believe it, so she checked it with three different dealers and she contacted Hyundai head office to confirm, who also gave the same part number and price even though, at the same time, they said there was a mistake with the other guy.In other words, it was the usual nonsense from the anti e-car brigade. The battery for that car does not cost anything remotely like 60,000$.
.
It sounds too good to be true. That's 115,000 units at 2.6p per unit. Are there any additional costs?For my chrissy present, I have bought in to a co-op share of Derril Water solar park.

would our (ergo the US) gov trust the tech enough to allow??why not manufacture in China?
I think it would. The current SMR plan from RR does not mention cooperation with China but we know by experience that it would be inevitable. There are too many competitors vying for contracts, cooperation with other countries or companies is necessary. China has the production capability in Gen4 cores. They recently proved this in their helium cooling high pressure reactor.would our (ergo the US) gov trust the tech enough to allow??
There is no FSCS protection it is an invetment punt so like any other, one only invests what they can afford to lose . The farms are co-op owned by the investors and managed by Ripple.Sounds good, and I hope it works out. 2,880kWh would last me about 9 months.

No Dave , no additional costs a one off payment. One buys the amount of electric kwh to cover their usage or up to 120% of their predicted usage. All operating /management costs are taken from monies earned from the total Mega watts of energy the farms produce as there will be some over production of energy to cover these costs.It sounds too good to be true. That's 115,000 units at 2.6p per unit. Are there any additional costs?
