VRB Power Systems Inc. announces that AUS$1.83 million (CAN$ 1.67 million) has been made available by the Australian Government under the Advanced Electricity Storage Technologies programme (AEST) to provide funding towards the deployment of a number of VRB Energy Storage Systems.
The systems will be deployed in remote solar and wind applications across Australia with an initial focus on Windy Harbour, a remote community in Western Australia. This funding has been made available to VRB Power’s Australian distributor, Cougar Energy Limited (formerly Pinnacle VRB Limited), which intends to use the funding to incentivize purchases of up to 90 VRB-ESS units at suitable sites across Australia over the next three years.
