VRFB energy storage project financing options in Singapore 2026

Why is vflowtech expanding in Singapore?

VFlowTech’s expansion comes as Singapore positions itself as a hub for sustainability and smart energy technologies, with growing demand for long-duration storage solutions to support the transition to 100% renewable energy and the build-out of electric vehicle infrastructure.

Why did vflowtech raise $26.5m?

This will also fund VFlowTech's global expansion. VFlowTech has raised $26.5m (US$20.5m) in a new funding round, which will enable it to boost deployment of its energy storage and strengthen AI-driven energy management.

Does project finance apply to energy storage projects?

The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects. Since the majority of solar projects currently under construction include a storage system, lenders in the project finance markets are willing to finance the construction and cashflows of an energy storage project.

What does VRFB-ESS stand for?

The project aims to demonstrate the innovative deployment of Vanadium Redox Flow Battery energy storage systems (VRFB-ESS) by leveraging existing storage tank infrastructure on Jurong Island.

What can VRFB-ESS do for Jurong Island?

The VRFB-ESS can accelerate the development and adoption of renewable energy as well as reduce the environmental impact of industrial waste in Jurong Island.

What makes VRFB-ESS different from a containerised redox flow battery ESS?

The structure of this innovative VRFB-ESS is also about five times more space-efficient than that of a typical containerised redox flow battery ESS due to the size of the storage tanks available and comes with cloud-based smart energy management to optimise the operation of ESS for different applications.
