SMRTR summary
The UK's largest vanadium flow battery in Europe has been completed in East Sussex, built by Invinity Energy Systems. The 20.7-megawatt-hour Copwood Energy Hub pairs 90 vanadium flow batteries with a solar array to store daytime solar energy and release it overnight, powering 3,000 homes daily. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, vanadium flow batteries carry no fire risk and are built to last decades, making them ideal for long-term renewable energy storage.
