Invinity has started manufacturing its VS3 batteries for a vanadium flow battery system at its factory in Scotland. The system is expected to be fully operational in 2026 and will be located in the South East of England. The project is the first of its kind in the UK, combining a long-duration battery energy storage system with on-site solar power generation. Invinity expects to co-locate the project with a solar PV array developed by a third party. The project was awarded £11 million in funding through the Longer Duration Energy Storage (LODES) competition and will have a total project cost of up to £20 million. Invinity will have full ownership and control of the project, allowing it to optimize the battery and receive revenue from grid balancing and energy trading services. The project is expected to showcase the capabilities of Invinity’s technology and mark a shift for the company from solely being a technology provider to having part or full ownership in projects.
Invinity has secured a project to deploy a 20.7MWh vanadium flow battery in the UK.
