Power Plant in the garden – are there seeds?

One interest I have is the whole aspect of “off-grid living” where your resource requirements (electricity, water supply, water re-cycling) are provided from “local” renewable/sustainable sources.

It was interesting to read the recent press release from Ceres Power and EDF to collaborate to produce an “in your garden fuel cell”.

Having your own power source (technology / infrastructure issues permitting – e.g. hydrogen supply, batteries etc.) in your garden whilst also being connected to the grid does open up all sorts of topics:

What will happen to the share price of energy suppliers?

Will energy suppliers become energy infrastructure suppliers?

Will “micro-energy-trading” platform’s pop up?

Wait and see…
