Renewables-powered energy systems that work independently of the grid at warehouse locations in India will be provided with flow battery-based energy storage solutions by US company Imergy.

Singapore-based property development company Assetz Property Group (APG) is installing the off-grid systems at its own industrial warehouse locations in India. The first project installed by the partnership will be in the state of Karnataka.

The company said its warehousing business is growing quickly in India due to the country’s nascent e-commerce market, with Assetz expecting to acquire further warehouse space in three Indian states, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharastra, although the projects are expected to be more concentrated in the first two than the latter. Assetz’ plan of investment in warehouses is expected continue over the next five years, the company said.

According to APG, Imergy’s vanadium redox flow battery systems were selected for their low cost and high performance, with the batteries’ reliability and consistency at fast charge and discharge praised and their unlimited cycle life and ruggedness at extreme high and low temperatures also touted.
