expected ROI of VRFB energy storage project in Finland 2026

How does a VRFB compared to a Li-ion battery affect revenue?

The lower round-trip efficiency of VRFBs compared with Li-ion battery systems can affect revenue for applications such as arbitrage that rely on high margins between the price of energy being discharged and the cost of energy for charging.

What is VRFB & how does it work?

The VRFB, which was fully energized in December , is combined with a 50 MW Wärtsilä Li-ion system to form a single hybrid energy storage asset, the largest vanadium flow and Li-ion hybrid system ever deployed.

Why are VRFBs a promising energy storage technology?

VRFBs are a promising energy storage technology because of their energy storage capacity scalability, full DoD, ability to cycle frequently and for long durations, nonflammable construction, and recyclable electrolyte.

Are VRFB companies investing in Gigafactories?

To ramp up production, VRFB industry leaders have invested in gigafactories. A South Korean developer, KORID Energy Company, has signed a JV with a metals exploration company called Margaret Lake Diamonds (MLD). MLD is looking into potential sources of vanadium in the US and plans to take a role of constructing the batteries for KORID.

Are VRFBs a good investment for vanadium mining?

In addition to government-level support for vanadium industries and technologies, several vendors view VRFBs as a complementary business to existing mining activities and have direct or indirect ties to vanadium mining interests. South Africa-based Bushveld Minerals is one of the main vanadium producers in the world.

Are VRFBs a good investment?

Even though VRFBs can be more economical over the lifetime of a project, reaching economies of scale is important for further lowering upfront costs and making this technology more attractive to investors and developers from the outset.
