Invinity Energy Systems Awarded £11million To Produce Largest Grid Scale Battery Ever Produced In The Uk.

13th April 2023

Invinity Energy Systems plc has today been awarded £11 million in funding by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to build the largest grid-scale battery ever manufactured in the UK.

The Vanadium Flow Battery Longer Duration Energy Asset Demonstrator ("VFB LEAD") project will see a 30 MWh Invinity VFB system deployed at a key node on the National Grid.

The battery, which will be capable of delivering more than 7 MW of power on demand, will utilise the fast-response and high-throughput characteristics of Invinity's battery technology to provide a broad range of services to the grid.

The battery's operation will provide vital flexibility to the UK electricity network and help accelerate the UK's transition to an energy system supplied by low carbon, domestic energy sources such as wind and solar power.
