The potential of flow batteries in the energy storage space
Flow batteries have continued to be a central discussion point for energy storage in recent months.
Indeed, earlier this month at our publisher, Solar Media’s Energy Storage Summit Australia 2025, Carl Christiansen, associate director of business development & transactions for the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), highlighted the rise of flow batteries, particularly vanadium, in the country.
“We’ve seen a whole lot of flow batteries in our time. We did support a 2MW vanadium flow battery in South Australia, and that’s now commissioned and operational. There are a lot of vanadium players in the Australian market,” Christiansen said.
Vanadium has seen a surge in appeal in Western Australia, particularly following the completion of an electrolyte factory for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB).
Elsewhere, yesterday Energy-Storage.news reported that Sumitomo Electric Industries had received an order for a grid-scale 2MW/8MWh VRFB from Shin-Idemitsu. The asset will help stabilise the electricity grid on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu.
