JTC, VFT, Advario sign MoU for energy storage in Jurong Island

It aims to optimise the storage of excess electricity from renewables.

JTC, VFlowTech (VFT), and Advario Asia Pacific have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to scale up vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) capacity for clean energy storage on Jurong Island.

It aims to optimise the storage of excess electricity generated from renewables for peak demand use and manage fluctuations in energy consumption.

Under the MoU, the three will use Advario's tank infrastructure to scale VFT's VRFB technology to 40 megawatt-hours, about 25 times its current capacity. This will power over 3,000 4-room HDB flats daily.

Additionally, the vanadium electrolytes could be produced from recycled industrial waste, which enhances circularity on Jurong Island.

"Battery energy storage systems play an important role in ensuring the stability of our power grid. Jurong Island is a prime candidate to testbed smart grid operations and energy management,” Low Xin Wei, assistant chief executive in Markets and Systems Division at Energy Market Authority, said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
