Sector Research Note – Grid-Scale Energy Storage

Author: Alexander Colvill, Research Analyst at 350 PPM. MJ Hudson Advisers (FRN:692447)  have deemed this text does not constitute a financial promotion.

Most renewable sources are intermittent, only creating energy when the sun shines, or the wind blows. Consequently, we expect it to get much harder to match supply with demand. In this research note, we examine this problem and outline possible solutions. These include the use of interconnectors (electricity links with neighbouring countries), demand side response, new fossil fuel power [...]

THE ECONOMIC CYCLE I subscribe to the 18-year economic cycle theory. I studied Behavioural Finance during my MBA and then completed my Thesis on The Cycle of Investor Emotions. As such, bearing in mind that we remember the last 3 years most clearly, it is no surprise to me that reliably, about every 7 years we (the human race) get ahead of ourselves and every 14 years, every significantly ahead of ourselves. Most of these shocks start with a crisis of confidence, maybe a fear of heights, but the crisis of confidence is based on some factor or another and at this point [...]
