VRFB energy storage cost breakdown in Canada 2026

Is the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) industry poised for growth?

Cell stacks at a large-scale VRFB demonstration plant in Hubei, China. Image: VRB Energy. The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) industry is poised for significant growth in the coming years, equal to nearly 33GWh a year of deployments by , according to new forecasting.

Are VRFBs better than Bess?

VRFBs have a higher capital cost than lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) technology but can offer a lower cost of ownership and levelised cost of energy storage over their lifetime. Yet this detail is often missed when procurement decisions are made.

What is the global demand for VRFB?

The cumulative global demand of VRFB by is around 111 GWh, with annual demand of about 27 GWh, or 2.4% of the total required stationary storage capacity for that year — a CAGR of 41% from to — according a a World Bank Group report.

How much is a VRFB project worth?

Revenues from VRFB project deployments are expected to be worth about US$850 million this year and projected to rise to US$7.76 billion by . That means annual global deployments of an estimated 32.8GWh per year by that later year and a compound annual growth rate of 41% in the market over this decade.

Is VRFB based in China?

While the majority of large VRFB sites and supply chain activities are on-going in China, there is significant non-China based activity. In some instances, such as the number of VRFB OEMs and smaller systems, activity is greater outside of China. Nearly every region of the world is seeing activities by VRFB companies and the supply chain.

Why is the VRFB supply chain important?

Nearly every region of the world is seeing activities by VRFB companies and the supply chain. The number of activities along the supply chain is increasing, which is important to allow for start up battery companies to deliver more and larger VRFBs. Plus, multiple established companies are entering the VRFB industry and its supply chain.
