Partners
RedFlow encourages cooperative business relationships with our customers and suppliers. We believe the best innovations come from open collaboration.
Our key partners are:
Ergon Energy
Ergon Energy is the regional electricity distributor servicing the vast non-metropolitan area of Queensland Australia. It has an asset base of $7.7 billion and 600,000 customers covering 97% of Queensland (the region outside Brisbane).
Ergon is a forward thinking organisation and is actively seeking solutions for peak electricity demand issues on its rural (SWER) network.
RedFlow has been able to develop a fully engineered solution to manage these peak loads using its advanced energy storage systems. This product is capable of replication throughout other regional distribution networks, reducing stressed assets and deferring investment in infrastructure.
RedFlow is installing thirty systems at various locations in regional Queensland. This roll-out is part funded by the Australian Federal Government's Advanced Electricity Storage Technologies Program, managed by the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism. Each of the systems is fully integrated with a solar PV array.
Powerco Limited
Powerco is New Zealand's third-largest electricity distribution company with around 315,000 customer connections. Its energy distribution networks spread across the upper-central, central and lower areas of New Zealand's North Island.
RedFlow has entered into a distribution agreement with Powerco and has appointed Powerco as its exclusive distributor in New Zealand for five years for all applications excluding sales to telecommunications OEM customers. Powerco is developing a subsidiary for this activity (BasePower). Visit the Basepower Website Here. Together, RedFlow and Powerco expect to deploy around 100 units in New Zealand over the next three years.
The University of Queensland
The University of Queensland (UQ) is currently installing the largest rooftop mounted solar PV array in Australia (1.2 MW), located on three of its buildings at its flagship St Lucia campus in Brisbane
UQ and RedFlow have entered into a memorandum of understanding that UQ will host and showcase the RedFlow 200 prototype from early 2011. The RedFLow 200 prototype will be configured to provide storage from the solar PV arrays mounted on one building. This project will showcase the RedFlow 200 prototype, moreover the project will represent one of the world's largest controlled demonstrations of solar PV with large scale energy storage.
