A PROOF OF MARKET GRANT is sought to conduct further research, modelling andexternal validation of the future supply and demand for FR in the UK, together with theproposed QBC trading strategy.The Quarry Battery Company (QBC) is at the forefront of developing additional FastResponse (FR) electricity reserve. FR is a fundamental requirement of keeping the UKnational grid stable and the nation's lights on. Demand for FR is forecast to double over thenext 20 years and existing facilities already operate at near full capacity.The UK Climate Change Act 2008 commits the UK to a significant increase in wind andnuclear generation to a 2050 time horizon. Additional demand for FR is a hidden butinevitable consequence of UK energy policy. There should be a guaranteed and expandingmarket for the FR class of electricity to be produced by the small and medium scale facilitiesdeveloped by QBC.For QBC to raise the necessary finance to bring an identified site into operation IT ISIMPERATIVE potential external investors/commercial banks/operating partners ACCEPTTHE REVENUE FORECAST AS BEING REALISTIC.This work is intended to do just that. It will be lead by Dave Holmes the MD of QBC withexternal support from recognised industry expert Dr David Nicols, whilst Godfrey Boyle, ofthe Energy and Research Unit at the Open University, and other academic institutions, willundertake external validation.QBC has raised £400,000 in start up equity funding to take forward the first site at GlynnRhonwy in North Wales. Land rights negotiations are under way on several other sites.Refusal of grant funding would seriously divert early stage investment money that is requiredto meet the substantial cost of the planning application.By validating the market concept, THIS GRANT FUNDING WILL RETURN THEFOLLOWING BENEFITS TO UK PLC:-•add resilience to supply network;•bring additional competition in the market FR; and•find a commercial use for disused quarries

寻求市场许可证的证明，以进行进一步的研究，建模和外部验证未来的供应和需求的FR在英国，连同拟议的QBC交易策略。采石场电池公司（QBC）是在开发额外的快速响应（FR）电力储备的最前沿。FR是保持英国国家电网稳定和国家照明的基本要求。预计未来20年对FR的需求将翻一番，现有设施已接近满负荷运行。英国2008年气候变化法案承诺英国在2050年的时间范围内大幅增加风能和核能发电。对FR的额外需求是英国能源政策的一个隐藏但不可避免的后果。对于由QBC开发的中小型设施生产的FR级电力，应该有一个有保证的和不断扩大的市场。对于QBC来说，筹集必要的资金以使一个确定的地点投入运营，这是潜在的外部投资者/商业银行/运营合作伙伴接受收入预测是现实的。这项工作就是为了做到这一点。它将由QBC的医学博士Dave Holmes领导，并得到公认的行业专家大卫尼科尔斯博士的外部支持，而开放大学能源和研究部门的戈弗雷波义耳和其他学术机构将进行外部验证。QBC已经筹集了40万英镑的启动资金，以推进北威尔士GlynnRhonwy的第一个网站。其他几个地点的土地权利谈判正在进行中。拒绝赠款资金将严重转移用于支付规划申请的大量成本所需的早期投资资金。通过验证市场概念，该赠款资金将为英国PLC带来以下好处：-·增加供应网络的弹性;·在FR市场中带来额外的竞争;以及·为废弃的采石场找到商业用途
