Ann: Redflow and Optus Resiliency Initiative Announced, page-26

@vinnie48 (Hotcopper won't post if I "reply")

"We're still in speculation territory for what it means financially" – I'm a speculator, so here I go!

1. The Optus Daintree site has six ZBM2s: https://redflow.com/optus-daintree/
2. That was a fully off-grid install, so six might be overkill for sites with grid connections.
3. There has to be at least one battery at each site.... or it's not a site.
4. I'm not sure how long a single battery would power a mobile tower, but in any case there's the risk of needing the battery while it's in its maintenance cycle. This is why@NavyDiver has two batteries.
5. So I'm plumping for a minimum of two batteries for a minimum total of 112.
6. As I understand it STAND is looking for a minimum of 48 hours of off-grid operation, so four seems more realistic (at 10kWh each) for a reasonable guess of 224 units.

My tiny tadpole heart is momentarily brimming with ... well, not exactly optimism, but ... less pessimism?
