Seeking investment value of $1 million - $5 million

AVESS Energy is an Australian vanadium flow battery (VFB) company at the cutting edge of long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology. As we shift into a dynamic growth phase, the Company is positioning itself to become Australia’s first manufacturer and supplier of commercial VFBs – a breakthrough for LDES and the Australian market.

A notable shift is happening in the energy storage market, with announcements for big battery installations focusing on 4 and 8-hour durations. The era of LDES is upon us, and new solutions will be required for the evolving energy storage landscape.

LDES has long been proposed as the key to stabilising the grid for reliable renewable energy dispatch. While dominant lithium-ion technology can be scaled for up to 8-hours in duration, it poses higher levelised cost of storage (LCOS) and risks related to fire hazards, short asset life and recycling inefficiencies. 

In contrast, VFB offer fire-resistance, have longer asset life and their electrolyte chemistry is infinitely recyclable, supporting a circular economy and contributing to high LCOS competitiveness at durations above 6 hours. Scalable into the hundreds of megawatts, VFB is a viable and compelling alternative solution for large scale renewable energy storage. 

AVESS Energy (AVESS or the Company) is an Australian energy storage company focused on locally manufacturing VFB with proprietary 25kW stack technology that is differentiated, commercial-ready and unique to the Australian market. Having reached the milestone of a minimum viable product (MVP) with Australia’s first locally manufactured 50kW/200kWh VFB module, we are now preparing for MVP trial demonstration with Atlantic Vanadium (Windimurra) and quotations for commercial trial deployment.

The Company is seeking a cornerstone investor to underpin the scaling of manufacturing capabilities and market expansion. With discussions ongoing with strategic partners, AVESS Energy is well-placed to capture the significant revenue-generating potential of Australia’s nascent VFB sector.

Project information

Project highlights:

Stack Development Pathway: A world-class 25kW VFB stack product now at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7, developed by our subsidiary KORID Energy – backed by over a decade of R&D with investment totaling US$10 million. The stack is the core of VFB technology. Our patented 25kW stack surpasses industry benchmarks, offering differentiated technology with flexibility in scaling.

Current progress includes:
1) MoU with Atlantic Vanadium VFB trial deployment at Windimurra vanadium mine, Western Australia.
2) Establishment of Joint Venture Unicoh ESS in South Korea for vertical integration towards VFB electrolyte manufacturing.
3) VFB manufacturing potential with EPIC ESG in South Carolina, USA. Joint Development Agreement executed between AVESS Energy and KORID Energy with EPIC ESG LLC and GreenTech HCO LLC, Wyoming, USA.

More Project details will be updated soon.

  • Describe whether or not the investment project has an indigenous involvement and/or engagement.
  • Upload quality images and video link if you have them.
  • Provide location details (optional) so we can put it on a map.
  • Provide primary contact details to receive potential investor enquiries.Upload any other project information that you want potential investors to download that supports your investor proposition or "investment pitch".

2. State the impact and alignment of your project to WA investment strategies

When you create your Investment Project you will need to provide details on how it aligns with WA State Governments business sentiment and investment strategies – for example, the impact on jobs, tourism and the Western Australian economy.

3. Submit your investment project for review

Your investment project will be reviewed by our panel to ensure your investment opportunity is an "investment ready" project and satisfies our guidelines and approval process.

Investment ready means that the investment proponent has a clearly articulated business and/or project plan which demonstrates:

  • project feasibility and delivery, including risk management.
  • the strength, experience, capabilities and capacity to execute the proposed project;
  • a growth plan, and how that growth will be funded;
  • how the investment proponent will need to be in the correct business structure.

3. Submit your project for review

We will review your Project Brief and work with you to make sure it is ready for investors.

4. Approval and listing

We communicate with you via email as you create, save, submit and revise your investment opportunity. Our team may contact you directly during the review and revision process. We will always confirm by email after your investment project has been approved by us for listing.
