Energy storage is the most exciting area in energy today. Massive amounts of energy storage are required if renewable energy is to take its rightful place on the electric grid. Invinity provides an alternative to the most common type of battery, lithium-ion, because the technology that works well in our pockets doesn’t work as well at the grid scale; it wears out, limits use, and can even catch fire. Manufactured as a standardized product in a factory, Invinity’s vanadium flow batteries don’t degrade, won’t catch fire, and can be operated continuously from full charge to full discharge for 25 years. Invinity has 75 megawatt-hours of modular battery systems in 82 projects across 15 countries—more than any other company in the space. We’ve deployed the largest flow battery systems in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the UK, supported by the UK's National Wealth Fund, leading institutional investors, and major projects backed by the U.S. Department of Energy and the UK Government. A compelling product and recent funding position Invinity for dramatic growth as it addresses the global need for stationary energy storage. Join us as we help transform renewable energy into a stable and dependable contributor to the transition to net zero.
