The energy storage projects receiving funding today include: StorTera Ltd, based in Edinburgh, will receive £5.02 million to build a prototype demonstrator of their sustainable, efficient, and highly energy dense single liquid flow battery (SLIQ) technology.
The rapid growth in the energy storage market is similarly driving demand for project financing. The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects.
The funding announced today is a key step towards supporting the development and commercialisation of innovative energy storage technologies, in turn supporting the UK’s transition to relying on renewables, while also encouraging private investment and new green jobs.
Over £32 million government funding has been awarded to UK projects developing cutting-edge innovative energy storage technologies that can help increase the resilience of the UK’s electricity grid while also maximising value for money. Courtesy of NREL.
An estimated 387 gigawatts (GW) (or 1,143 gigawatt hours (GWh)) of new energy storage capacity is expected to be added globally from 2022 to 2030, which would result in the size of global energy storage capacity increasing by 15 times compared to the end of 2021.
Twenty-four projects based across the UK have been awarded the first round of funding through the Longer Duration Energy Storage competition, which is worth £68 million in total.

Our planet is entrenched in a global energy crisis, and we need solutions. A template for developing the world's first renewable green battery is proposed and lies in storing electricity across the grid. Iceland generates 100%. . With aging infrastructure and renewable energy (RE) generation on the rise, there has never been a more urgent need for a modern electricity grid. Many envision this modernized smart grid. . Originally when we set out on this idea, the leading-edge technology for digitally modelling our fancy electric grid was the Grid. [pdf]

The world's largest vanadium flow battery project has been successfully completed in China by Rongke Power. This project features a capacity of 175 MW / 700 MWh and is located in the Xinjiang region. It aims to enhance grid stability, manage peak loads, and support the integration of renewable energy sources23. The project is part of Rongke Power's efforts to expand its global fleet of utility-scale energy storage systems4. [pdf]
Dalian, China-based vanadium flow battery (VFB) developer Rongke Power, has completed a 175MW/700MWh project, which they are calling the world’s largest vanadium flow battery project. Located in Ushi, China, the project will provide various services to the grid, including grid forming, peak shaving, frequency regulation and renewable integration.
It is considered to be one of the most promising energy storage technologies. Rongke Power has over 450 patents in vanadium flow battery technology, saying their flow battery systems are operational in key regions globally.
A press release by the company states that the vanadium flow battery project has the ability to store and release 700MWh of energy. This system ensures extended energy storage capabilities for various applications. It is designed with scalability in mind, and is poised to support evolving energy demands with unmatched performance.
Vanadium flow batteries provide continuous energy storage for up to 10+ hours, ideal for balancing renewable energy supply and demand. As per the company, they are highly recyclable and adaptable, and can support projects of all sizes, from utility-scale to commercial applications.
According to research published in 2021 in Advances in Smart Grid Power Systems, compared with other chemical energy storage technology, the vanadium redox flow battery has advantages in safety, longevity and environmental protection. It is considered to be one of the most promising energy storage technologies.
Rongke Power has over 450 patents in vanadium flow battery technology, saying their flow battery systems are operational in key regions globally. Earlier this yea in August, the company announced a VFP gigafactory equipped with fully automated, robotic systems, designed to produce up to 1GW in battery energy storage systems (BESS) annually.
