"Like all batteries it can discharge slower."

So what the CEC and DOE and Energy Queensland wants from electrochemical storage is just a manipulated apparition.

And this, this is money for smoke and mirrors;

And with regard to this, "EXACTLY what Redflow batteries are designed for" yes, but Redflow needs to deliver a new more energy dense larger format product and build a new far more automated factory to be able to compete price wise, and to be able to deliver that kind of manufactured volume in a sensible time. And that is what the CEC and DOE funded projects are designed to try and bootstrap as they increase in size for the progressing recipients.
