Invinity Showcases VFB Technology to EU Delegation Alongside UK Department for Business and Trade

Delegates from Hungary, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina visited Invinity’s  Motherwell manufacturing facility to learn how Invinity battery technology is enhancing grid flexibility and strengthening system resilience across Europe as central European nations rapidly increase the proportion of solar and wind in their generation mix.

Yesterday Invinity Energy Systems welcomed a 40-strong delegation, including the Hungarian Minister for Energy and a host of grid system operators, energy regulators, renewable energy developers, investors, analysts and industry associations from seven Central European countries to its Motherwell manufacturing facility. This event, organised by the UK Department of Business & Trade (DBT), aims to provide the delegates with a detailed understanding of the UK’s expertise in long duration energy storage and policy and regulatory frameworks as well exchange insights on the evolving Central European market landscape and to establish professional and commercial links and partnerships.

During the tour of Invinity’s facilities, the delegation was welcomed by Invinity Chair Neil O’Brien, and had the opportunity to hear from Invinity’s wider team through a number of focused sessions covering the techno-economic characteristics of the Endurium battery system and its suitability for deployment at scale to support the growing volume of renewable energy across Central Europe. The delegates also had the opportunity to hear from the existing Invinity customers in Europe.

“Europe is a strategically important market for Invinity, and we are proud to support the UK Department for Business & Trade, showcasing Invinity as a UK technology export champion and presenting our market-leading long-duration energy storage (LDES) solutions to leading European energy and policy stakeholders.

“With the UK now generating more than 50% of its electricity from renewable sources, the accelerated deployment of LDES through the Cap & Floor scheme provides a clear, investable pathway to delivering low-cost, low-carbon power — a model that can be replicated across Europe.”

– Neil O’Brien, Non-Executive Chair, Invinity Energy Systems

Wind and solar generation overtook fossil power for the first time in 2025 in Europe, producing 30% of the overall energy generated. This has been primarily driven by the rapid deployment of solar plants which are benefiting from changing weather conditions that increasingly favour solar generation. Alongside this, 27.1 GWh of new battery capacity was installed in Europe in 2025, with 55% of this capacity coming from utility-scale systems.
