Redflow, the Australia and US-based energy company, and utility company Stanwell are to jointly develop and deploy Redflow’s new X10 flow battery solution for use in a large-scale project of up to 400MWh.
The battery has the core stack technology as the company’s ZBM3 battery. It is redesigned for large-scale deployments.
This will serve as a potential anchor order for Redflow’s planned manufacturing facility in Queensland.
Stanwell, wholly owned by the Queensland government, and Redflow will undertake a preliminary due diligence pre-feasibility study for an initial 5MWh project. The study is scheduled to be completed in early 2025 followed by a decision on whether to proceed with the 5MWh X10 battery project to be deployed in the first half of 2026.
Stanwell CEO Michael O’Rourke said: “We already have a number of battery storage projects in the pipeline, and this new partnership will ensure the battery technologies deployed in the future could serve our communities and customers. This is also a commitment to assist with the accelerated development and adoption of non-lithium alternatives.”
Redflow is a listed company that manufactures long-duration zinc-bromine flow batteries for stationary commercial, industrial, and utility applications. The batteries are modular, scalable and capable of 100% depth of discharge.
Stanwell is already planning a 300MW/1200MWh lithium-ion battery BESS to be constructed within the Stanwell Power Station precinct.
