At the heart of this landmark project is a hybrid energy storage system integrating vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries-demonstrating the growing strategic importance of vanadium flow battery technology in large-scale, grid-support applications.
Unlike conventional batteries storing energy in solid electrodes, vanadium redox flow batteries use liquid electrolytes separated by membranes. This unique architecture enables: Australian households using these systems report 92% round-trip efficiency - crucial for maximizing solar.
In 2025, the typical cost of commercial lithium battery energy storage systems, including the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, ranges from $280 to $580 per kWh.
It includes the construction of a 100MW/600MWh vanadium flow battery energy storage system, a 200MW/400MWh lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage system, a 220kV step-up substation, and transmission lines.
A flow battery is a type of rechargeable battery. It stores energy using electroactive species in liquid electrolytes. These electrolytes are stored in external tanks and pumped through electrochemical cells.
