Redflow Limited, a clean energy storage company, announced it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with one of Queensland’s government-owned coal-fired generators, Stanwell Corporation. The partnership aims to advance towards energy transition.
It includes a trial of Redflow’s latest large-scale zinc-bromine flow technology and aims to lay the foundations for a battery manufacturing facility in Queensland.
Tim Harris, Redflow CEO and Managing Director, said, “Stanwell is a leader in developing renewable energy solutions to accelerate Queensland’s energy transition, and we are excited to be partnering with them on these studies and pilot projects to further advance our new X10 product.”
This announcement follows the release by the Queensland State Government and Australian Federal Government of separate battery strategies. These strategies emphasize the importance of medium and long-duration energy storage.

The Federal Government’s strategy specifically emphasizes zinc-bromine flow batteries as cost-effective for scaling, offering long cycle life, and well-suited for large-scale systems.
Redflow added that, along with Stanwell, it will undertake a preliminary due diligence pre-feasibility study for an initial 5 MWh project using Redflow’s new X10 battery at the Stanwell Future Energy Innovation Training Hub.
Michael O’Rourke, Stanwell CEO, added, “We already have a number of battery storage projects in the pipeline, and this new partnership will ensure the battery technologies deployed in the future are the best fit to serve our communities and customers through our renewable transformation.”
The feasibility study is scheduled to be completed in early 2025. Then, a decision will be made to proceed with the 5 MWh X10 battery project, which is expected to be deployed in the first half of 2026.
