$FYI – Battery Storage Costs Drop Dramatically, Making Way to a New Era
The three main takeaway points from the RMI report are as follows:
1. Battery cost and performance improvements are quickly outpacing forecasts.
2. These improvements spell trouble for natural gas and internal combustion engine vehicle markets.
3. Lithium-ion, while still the leading batter technology, is likely not the universal solution of future energy storage technologies.
The report delves deeply into the electric vehicle market, as well as a large range of battery types and chemistries.

$JRVMF – Jervois drilling results from Idaho Cobalt Operations, United States
“Since taking ownership of Idaho Cobalt Operations (“ICO”) in July, Jervois aggressively drilled during 2H 2019 to optimize and de-risk the bankable feasibility study (“BFS”) underway, and to begin to assess potential mineral resource upside. The Company completed 3,125 metres of diamond core drill drilling over 19 holes to support the bankable feasibility study (“BFS”) currently in progress. All holes targeting the currently modelled Ram resource intersected mineralization, representing an increase of over 20 percent of all resource grade holes undertaken on the Ram deposit. In addition, two holes were extended to explore the footwall of the RAM deposit, successful results for both step out exploration holes were reported 15 October 2019. The Ram deposit resource remains open at depth and along strike offering opportunities for expansion. The initial footwall exploration results confirm an extension of the Blackbird mine horizons resulting in the opportunity to further explore the Blacktail North extension zone on strike and dip. An extensive drill programme is planned during the US summer of 2020.”

$FYI – How Energy Storage’s Growth Trajectory Differs From the Early Days of Solar
“Fast-acting battery technology performs many roles: frequency regulation, capacity, deferral of wires upgrades, resilience, firming renewable generation and more. It does not rely on a geographically specific weather pattern or any one set of state policies to become valuable, and it’s already asserting itself across the U.S., said Daniel Finn-Foley, energy storage director at Wood Mackenzie, speaking Tuesday at GTM’s Energy Storage Summit in Denver.”

$FYI – Battery storage on verge of changing Texas power grid
“While only a fraction of proposed generation projects typically get built, Huntington said the flood of battery proposals indicates where the market is headed. Texas, meanwhile, has become one of the leaders in grid-scale storage, in part because it can design policies without waiting for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, where a contentious rule-making process for deploying batteries on the grid is underway. ”
