NextEnergy Solar Fund To Shift To Energy Storage And Divest Solar in Strategic Overhaul

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on the Solar Power Portal.

This is the sub-heading.

As part of the reset, NextEnergy said it will increase its energy storage exposure up to 30% of its gross asset value, a significant increase on its current rate of 10%.

These two paragraphs give more of their reasoning.

NextEnergy Solar Fund has completed a “strategic reset” of its investment strategy which will see it focus on energy storage assets and increase project sales.

As part of the reset, NextEnergy said it will increase its energy storage exposure up to 30% of its gross asset value, a significant increase on its current rate of 10%. The company said the shift would “enhance the Company’s existing stable revenues generated by its operational solar assets and support future revenues”.

In Is Sumitomo Heavy Industries Highview Power Energy Storage System On Line At Hiroshima?, I describe a power supply system developed by Sumitomo Heavy Industries to supply a stable 5 MW to a LNG Terminal, using these components.

  • A Cold Source
  • Solar Panels
  • A 5 MW/20 MWh Highview Power liquid-air CRYObattery.

Do Sumitomo Heavy Industries believe that a combination of energy and/or battery sources working together gives the quality of stable power, that is needed by today’s modern factories, facilities and buildings?

As a Graduate Control Engineer, I very much believe stable power supplies are a good thing and Sumitomo Heavy Industries obviously feel that Highview Power’s liquid air CRYObatteries are a good way to provide them.

The adding of a battery into a solar-powered renewable power supply, would surely, increase the amount of batteries that NextEnergy were financing.

How Much B12 In An M & S Chicken Jalfrezi With Basmati Rice For One?

I asked Google AI, the title of this post and received this answer.

Based on typical nutritional data for similar prepared chicken and rice meals, a 400g serving of M&S Chicken Jalfrezi with Basmati Rice likely contains a significant portion of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin B12, largely derived from the chicken breast.

Protein Content: The 400g meal generally provides approximately 32.8g of protein.

Estimated B12: As a rich source of animal protein, 100g of chicken typically provides a significant portion of daily B12. While specific B12 figures for this exact M&S product are not explicitly listed in the search results, similar chicken curry meals provide roughly 0.5–1.0 µg or more per 100g, suggesting a 400g pack could meet or exceed the typical daily adult requirement (around 1.5–2.4 µg).

Nutritional Summary for M&S Chicken Jalfrezi with Rice (400g):
Protein: ~32.8g

Calories: ~372–544 kcal

Fat: ~6.8g–20g

Carbs: ~45.2g–56.4g

The dish contains marinated chargrilled chicken breast, red peppers, and basmati rice.

Five New Railway Stations To Open Over Next Month

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

Opening dates have been announced for five new railway stations in the West Midlands following a £185m project to reinstate links not used in decades.

These two paragraphs add more details.

On the Black Country line, new stations for Willenhall and Darlaston open on 19 March. The sites were last visited by trains in 1965.

On 7 April, Camp Hill Line stations Moseley Village, Kings Heath, and Pineapple Road open, allowing locals access to neighbourhood services for the first time since World War Two.

I shall go up, some time on or after the 7th and see all five stations.
