Spanish utility Endesa has activated a 1.1 MW/5.5 MWh redox flow battery in Spain. It says it is the vanadium redox flow storage system connected to a PV plant in Europe. It is situated near Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands.
Endesa, through its Enel Green Power Spain unit, has commissioned an energy storage system based on vanadium redox flow batteries at the Son Orlandis solar plant in Mallorca, Spain.
The 1.1 MW/5.5 MWh battery is the first energy storage plant that the company has built in Spain with this technology. It claimed that it is the largest vanadium flow battery to be paired with a PV plant in Europe.
“This type of battery has the advantage of having a useful life of over 20 years without suffering any degradation, which makes them very interesting to guarantee long-term storage, in this case, more than siy hours,” the company said in a statement. “In addition, they offer enormous security benefits."
The Son Orlandis battery system has been made in collaboration with Canadian manufacturer Largo, which provided its Vcharge cooling system. The system''s electrolyte has an "infinite" useful life and can be easily reused at the end of its useful life without degrading and without a negative impact on the environment, said Endesa.
Endesa won 72.4 MW of solar capacity in the latest renewable energy auctions for the Balearic Islands. The Orlandis PV plant is one of the awarded projects and was commissioned in 2022.

Independent coverage of power generation since 1981
Spain is aiming to employ renewable energy for over 80% of its total energy generation by 2030 as part of its net-zero target. To ensure a stable power supply, Spain has set a target to install 20 GW of energy storage. H2 specialises in flow batteries, with proprietary technology developed in-house and a production capacity exceeding 330 MWh in South Korea. It is is planning to build a second VFB factory in South Korea to secure gigawatt-hour scale production.

Canada-based vanadium mining company Largo Resources has announced that its U.S.-based unit Largo Clean Energy has signed its first supply agreement for its VCHARGE ± vanadium redox flow battery system, with Enel Green Power Spain, a unit of Italian renewable energy company Enel Green Power, which is itself part of the Enel group. Under the terms of the deal, Largo Clean Energy will provide a five-hour, 6.1 MWh system for a project in Spain whose start-up is scheduled for the third quarter of 2022.
The company''s VPURE and VPURE + vanadium products come from one of the three largest vanadium mines in the world, the company''s Maracás Menchen mine, located in Brazil. These compounds are used to develop''s Largo''s VCHARGE ± vanadium redox flow battery technology.
Largo Clean Energy began, last year, the development of its vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) technology based on 12 patent families previously owned by U.S. storage specialist VionX Energy, whose assets it acquired for $3.8 million.
