Not all the projects on the list are confirmed, so I'm leaving it on there so it's on the radar.

That's the only info I've got on the Shijiazhuang project.
It's also worth noting that the recorded number of active cv19 cases in South Africa reached a peak of 173,590 on 20 July and is now in a downtrend at 137,977 yesterday.
Of course, we don't know the accuracy of the official figures but looks like it's going in the right direction on the face of it.
It's worth noting point 29 in The World Banks report on restructuring the Eskom project.
29. Because of the pioneering role of this battery storage project, its assessment should not be limited to the amount of clean energy enabled and CO2 offset but the impact that the demonstration would have on maturing the technology, lowering costs and enabling scale-up. Concessional funding is needed at this stage to support maturity of the technology.
The building and kitting out of the electrolyte plant is not a particularly complicated project.
An EPC was selected in Q1 this year, so the design is likely to be complete or nearly so.
A 6 month build timeline is very doable, so Q1 next year for initial production looks possible to me.
gambitxjs - that would mean that the Bushveld website is showing incorrect information.
The last two holding statements showed the following.
01/03/20 - 59,450,000
30/06/20 - 49,100,000
If they just transferred them to a different account and were still the beneficial owner, then the holding should not have changed.
We know that Golden Summit have been selling this year but it must be at a loss.
They bought 65 million between 29p and 41p in 2018-2019.
Oct 2018 - 44,692,700 at 29p
Nov 2018 - 10,000,000 at 41p
Jan 2019 - 10,307,300 at 41p
Pat48 - those 5 projects at the bottom are planned electrolyte manufacturing facilities.
At full capacity those projects will require a staggering amount of nearly 300,000 tonnes of vanadium per year every year. That's 3 times the current useage.
Updated to include the breakdown of the Eskom Phase 1 packages.
I'm assuming at the moment that VRFB's capture all the tenders fo rboth phase 1 & 2.
This is unlikely and I'll update when the tenders are awarded.
