“This real-time impact in Hawaii means that the playbook Hawaiian Electric didn’t have when it embarked on its journey is now, thanks in part to the utility’s example, available to other island communities. In fact, as part of DOE’s Energy Transition Initiative, NREL developed and maintains the Islands PlaybookPDF, a step-by-step, action-oriented guide that provides a replicable framework for energy transition—including lessons learned from the laboratory’s work in Hawaii. “

Summary
The energy storage boom – some quick facts.
Types of stationary energy storage. Hydro has historically dominated, however Li-ion battery storage is growing fast. Vanadium flow can also have a place.
Lithium-ion represented at least 97% of all energy storage capacity deployed in 2016 in the USA.
A look at some stocks likely to benefit from the energy storage boom.
This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Trend Investing.
Energy storage is a new disruptive trend. It basically involves storing energy that can later be harnessed for electricity to power our homes, our cars – our future. Energy storage is growing fast as it complements the renewable energy sectors of wind and solar.
For some background investors can read my 2016 article – “Energy Storage – The Dams Of Our Energy Future.”
The energy storage boom – Some quick facts…
Adding to what you listed:
“According to Robert Friedland, NDRC’s policy statement, which calls for demonstrators to be built by 2020, “will result in vanadium flow batteries revolutionizing modern electricity grids in the way that lithium-ion batteries are enabling the global transition to electric vehicles.”
Note: Robert Friedland is a chairman of Beijing company Pu Neng. Last November 2017 Pu Neng was awarded a contract to build the largest vanadium flow battery in China. That is the 40MWh project referred to above, that will be followed by a larger 100MW 500MWh energy storage project in Hubei Province.”

Summary
Lithium spot and contract price news – Spot prices slightly down, while 2018 contract prices are up.
Lithium market news – Chinese lithium acquisition spree shifts from Chile to Argentina.
Junior lithium miner company news – Nemaska Lithium has a brilliant month.
Core Exploration is added to the group as they look to be a potential 2020 producer.
This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Trend Investing.
Welcome to the April 2018 edition of the “junior” lithium miner news. I have categorized those lithium miners that won’t likely be in production much before 2020 as the juniors, rather than market cap as that fluctuates too much.
April saw a slight fall in the lithium spot price, some recovery in the lithium junior stock prices, and steady progress by the lithium junior miners.
Lithium market and prices summary…
Nemaska lithium has a great future. (Nmx tse) price is great and if you are ready to wait a year, this stock will give great results, they have a vertical production up in Canada and have all the financing they need to be fully operational in 2020. Great partnerships with Japan and Sweden.

Summary
Vanadium spot prices were slightly lower in April.
Vanadium market news – Mining legend Robert Friedland states: “We think there’s a revolution coming in vanadium redox flow batteries.”
Vanadium company news – “Neometals vanadium resource a ‘massive’ 4x larger.”
This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Trend Investing.
Welcome to the first edition of the vanadium miners news. Vanadium is traditionally used to harden steel; however, vanadium flow batteries (VRFBs) are becoming increasingly popular, especially for commercial energy storage, most notably in China. China has an enormous amount of solar and wind capacity that blend perfectly with this type of energy storage.

$MGXMF long > MGX Minerals Expands Utah Petrolithium Project; Acquires Additional Oil and Gas Leases at Paradox Basin
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / May 2, 2018 / MGX Minerals Inc. (“MGX” or the “Company”) (CSE: XMG / OTCQB: MGXMF / FSE: 1MG) is pleased to announce acquisition of an additional 3,455 acres of oil and gas leases as a result of successful bidding at a recent State of Utah School and Institutional Trust Land Administration (SITLA) auction. The leases are located contiguous to the Company’s unitized 80,380-acre Blueberry Unit (“Blueberry Unit”) and show similar subsurface geological formations and structures favorable for accumulations of oil and gas as well as lithium brine-bearing formations. The newly acquired leases are located within the proposed 3D seismic geophysical survey area, which is scheduled to commence in August. The survey will include approximately 9,000 data points.
The Blueberry Unit (oil, gas and lithium) and Lisbon Valley Claims (lithium) now consists of approximately 115,000 acres of oil and gas leases and 118,000 acres of largely overlying and contiguous mineral claims. Brine content within the Lisbon Valley oilfield have been historically reported as high as 730 ppm lithium (Superior Oil 88-21P).
The Project is being simultaneously explored for oil, gas, lithium and other brine minerals to determine locations for deployment of the Company’s lithium and mineral extraction technology. In total MGX controls over two million acres of mineral leases and permits overlying brine-bearing formations throughout North America.
Blueberry Unit
MGX is currently earning a 75% working interest in the Project, with the remaining interest primarily controlled by the Paradox Partner. The Paradox Partner has been engaged by MGX as subcontracted operator of the Project. The Project is host to National Instrument (N.I) 51-101 estimated prospective resources (the “Estimate”) consisting of leasehold and royalty interests in San Juan County, Utah and Miguel County. Colorado. The estimate was prepared by the Ryder Scott Company, L.P. (“Ryder Scott”), an independent qualified reserves evaluator within the meaning of N.I. 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”), with an effective date of June 30, 2017. The Estimate was prepared in accordance with N.I. 51-101 and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation.
