During a guided tour of the facility led by Invinity's Chair, Neil O'Brien and key members of staff, the Secretary of State charged and discharged an Invinity battery system connected to the Scottish electricity grid and learned about its key safety and low noise characteristics. The Secretary also took the opportunity to learn how these vanadium flow batteries offer a scalable, UK-made solution to reliably and affordably store renewable energy for use on demand.

"It was great to visit Invinity in Bathgate to meet their workers. The facility shows how Scotland is at the forefront of delivering the infrastructure to help bring energy bills down, while creating high-quality green energy jobs. Energy storage is essential to allow us to fully utilise Scotland's offshore wind resources and cut bills by building a more efficient, resilient grid."

"We were pleased to welcome the Secretary of State to our Bathgate facility and demonstrate how Invinity's Scottish-built technology supports a more efficient and affordable energy system. By enabling renewable power to be stored and used when it is needed most, long-duration energy storage plays a vital role in reducing energy system costs and protecting consumers from volatile energy prices. We are proud that our work in Scotland is supporting UK energy security, high-quality clean energy jobs, and the export of British clean-energy technology worldwide."
