Strix Group plc (KETL LN) - Chinese covid policy impacting trading, Billi acquisition closes

Strix has issued a trading update today following a disrupted period due to China’s continued Zero Covid policy approach and ongoing macro uncertainty.

Invinity Energy Systems - 15MWh order, largest to date

Invinity has announced a record new order, for 15MWh of its vanadium flow batteries (VFB) for Everdura Technology in Taiwan with 255MWh of follow-on-order potential.

LIBERUM: Yü Group* - Strong growth and dividend on the cards

Cenkos: Brickability Group Plc - Underlying trading remains strong

Positive interims, with LFL revenue growth of 9.3%, adjusted EBITDA growth of 45.7%, a 5% increase in the dividend and an in-line outlook statement. There is clearly added uncertainty going into 2023, the diversity of both its product base and customers means it remains in a good position. The share price has behaved more like a housebuilder and in our view, this fails to reflect the diversity of its model and the fact that the group's earnings continue to rise. On revised forecasts the shares t

Invinity Energy Systems - 2.2MWh sale, entry into Taiwanese market

Invinity has announced a further sale of its vanadium flow batteries (VFB), this one comprising 2.2MWh of its VS3 model.

Where There's Muck - Bioenergy

Energy from biomass or waste can be genuinely low carbon and sustainable, representing a major tool in the decarbonisation toolbox.
