Very interesting indeed Gerry.

Followed up on your findings. Ecotricity are an interesting outfit and the people behind the Dagenham turbines. Under your senario could it be Ecotricity that are assesing the combined HEC Genset and Electrolyser systems and not Ford? Now that would be exciting considering their other customers Co-op Bank, Sainsbury's, B&Q

Ford were obviously impressed and have expanded the project

Thirdly check out the paragraph under the sub heading "Going Off Grid" in the below link.

Car giant Ford teamed up with Ecotricity to set up three wind turbines – visible from the motorway – at their manufacturing plant in Dagenham, London. “We set up an agreement whereby we buy the energy from them and pay a small oncost and they deal with the turbines,” says Ford’s Taylor. The contract has allowed them to make “significant” financial savings he added.

Meanwhile, Ford is looking at other ideas to source green energy for its plants, including using photovoltaics in SPAIN and buying energy abroad.

OK probably means nothing but we see the Spanish link once again?
