Invinity will supply an 8.4MWh VRFB to a solar-plus-storage project in Alberta, Canada. It will be paired with a 21MW solar PV plant. Sumitomo installed a 51MWh VRFB in Hokkaido.

What is the global demand for VRFB?

The cumulative global demand of VRFB by is around 111 GWh, with annual demand of about 27 GWh, or 2.4% of the total required stationary storage capacity for that year — a CAGR of 41% from to — according a a World Bank Group report.

Why is the VRFB supply chain important?

Nearly every region of the world is seeing activities by VRFB companies and the supply chain. The number of activities along the supply chain is increasing, which is important to allow for start up battery companies to deliver more and larger VRFBs. Plus, multiple established companies are entering the VRFB industry and its supply chain.

Who makes VRFBs in South Africa?

Local manufacturer Delectrik has delivered VRFBs locally and started to deliver for export, as well. Bushveld Energy achieved financial close and started construction on a minigrid featuring 3.5MW of solar PV and a 4MWh VRFB from CellCube. The minigrid is an IPP that sells energy to a mine. The VRFB used vanadium mined by Bushveld in South Africa.

What is a VRFB minigrid?

The minigrid is an IPP that sells energy to a mine. The VRFB used vanadium mined by Bushveld in South Africa. Largo Clean Energy announced the start of manufacturing of a 6.1MWh VRFB to be installed in Spain with Enel Green Power. The battery will be coupled with a 1MW PV plant to shift excess solar generation from day to evening.

Is VRFB based in China?

While the majority of large VRFB sites and supply chain activities are on-going in China, there is significant non-China based activity. In some instances, such as the number of VRFB OEMs and smaller systems, activity is greater outside of China. Nearly every region of the world is seeing activities by VRFB companies and the supply chain.
