–News Direct–

Comcast announced today the completed expansion of its next-generation Xfinity network to homes and businesses in the City of Spring Hill. The media and technology company invested more than $13 million to install more than 90 miles of new fiber-rich highways that will offer residential broadband speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) and business speeds up to 100 Gbps. The completion is part of Comcasts ongoing expansion in the Midwest where Comcast is also expanding into Paola/Hillsdale.

The Kelly-Toland Administration recognizes that building reliable broadband services is essential for healthy communities throughout the state, Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. With the completion of this project, the Spring Hill community now has the resources needed to stay connected and engaged and help drive economic development.

"The City of Spring Hill joins Comcast in celebrating the completion of this investment in our community. It will support workforce development, education and greater access to high-speed internet for our residents. This was a big priority of this administration from the start, and Im glad to see it through to becoming a reality. It also improves our internet infrastructure in a way that is attractive to businesses interested in growing here," said Mayor Joe Berkey, City of Spring Hill. I am grateful for Comcasts commitment to expanding broadband access to Spring Hill and also their continued commitment to sponsoring other Spring Hill community events throughout the year.

To celebrate the expansion of Xfinity services to the City of Spring Hill, Comcast will donate $5,000 to the Spring Hill Education Foundation and will host an Xfinity On Tour event during the Spring Hill Recreation Center Daffodil Days on April 20 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. CST at the Spring Hill Learning Academy at 300 E.

Reliable high-speed internet is essential in todays digital economy, which is why Comcast continues its commitment to connect more Johnson County region families and businesses to the moments that matter most, said Kalyn Hove, Comcast Midwest Regional Senior Vice President. By establishing the best broadband infrastructure today, we are securing the economic prosperity of these communities for tomorrow.

We purchased The Bean in Spring Hill nearly three years ago. The most difficult part of doing business was little to no access to internet and proper speeds needed to run our business, stated Brad Killen, CEO of The Bean. When I spoke with Comcast Business it was a quick YES to help us. Before switching to Comcast, our WiFi went out every other day and we were running on the slowest speeds. We are now finally getting normal speeds and could not be happier with the service. Everyday dozens of people work, take meetings, or calls at The Bean and this upgrade keeps people coming back for more.

Kinetiko Energy achieves milestone in South African onshore gas power generation

Published

on

–News Direct–

Kinetiko Energy Ltd (ASX:KKO, OTC:KKOEF) CEO Nick de Blocq joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion after the company became the first to produce power from onshore domestic gas in South Africa.

Kinetiko successfully demonstrated power production from a gas well at Amersfoort in cooperation with FFS Refiners by constructing a fully compliant gas train on-site to feed a 1.2MW gas generator.

De Blockq said the milestone is significant for alleviating the country's energy crisis. The process involved significant compliance efforts, including studies, professional engineering approvals, and equipment importation.

Kinetiko Energy's current focus is not on commercial power production but on using its gas to support field operations. The company's pilot project involves a five-well cluster, with plans to expand to a 30-well LNG cluster in partnership with the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). The pilot aims to produce 5,000 tonnes of LNG per annum from each ten-well grouping, with a long-term goal of 60,000 tonnes per annum from around 100 wells.

Kinetiko recently announced a A$5 million fundraising effort to support gas exploration across three South African provinces. The raised funds will help the company meet its exploration obligations and drill five appraisal wells by Q3 2024.

De Blocq highlighted the environmental benefits of their clean gas, which contains 99% methane and no harmful impurities. He emphasized the potential of Kinetiko's world-class gas resource to significantly impact South Africa's energy landscape.
