Bushveld Energy has just successfully completed a pilot with South African electricity group Eskom for a redox battery system
Bushveld Minerals (LON:BMN) is to expand vanadium battery development in South Africa to a 1Mw mini-grid that will supply its nearby Vametco mine.
The mini-grid will combine 1Mwh of solar photovoltaic generation and 4Mwh energy storage using vanadium redox battery (VRFB) technology and supply power directly into Vametco’s internal distribution network.
Bushveld has also started to process vanadium for use as an electrolyte in the batteries.
Subsidiary Bushveld Energy has also just successfully completed a pilot with South African electricity group Eskom for a redox battery system.
