StorTera has secured £5m from the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP) to develop a megawatt scale battery that can operate for up to eight hours.
The Edinburgh based company's single liquid flow battery (SLIQ) aims to offer grid flexibility by storing electricity which can then be released at peak times when weather dependent renewable technologies have periods of decreased energy generation.
The battery will be installed at the Midlothian Innovation Centre (MIC) in 2024.
