I was woken up this morning by a text from Nik. Firstly, a big thank you to Nik for doing it by text, last time it was by hitting a gong (nobody knows where he got it from) four inches from my ear. The text was about the new plan, announced on the 11th of May by the government, to fit "smart metres" in every home in britain by 2020 at a total cost of £7 billion (original article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8042716.stm). On the surface this seems like good news, whilst Qonnectis main focus has been on their water metering product, they also provide smart metering systems for gas and electricity (http://www.qonnectis.com/Solutions/Energy-Utility/Default.aspx) and so could be a part of this. |

ITM Power provides technology for producing hydrogen in an affordable manner, its current leading product is a home re-fuelling station which would fit into a garage and ITM hope to eventually sell for around £2000. The re-fuelling station would be able to provide hydrogen for household appliances (for example heating systems and cooking) as well as fuel for cars capable of running, fully or partly, off hydrogen.

Qonnectis: An AIM listed company which makes remote data logging and transmission systems targeted at remote, real time meter reading for utilies. For example gas metres or most recently measurement of water leaks at the pipework leading up to houses. Interesting because of the technologies potential for allowing identificaiton of areas where utility consumption can be decreased, therefore making green savings. Without doubt a speculation rather than an investment but we think a good one. |
