On Friday August 9th, UK’s power grid fell apart when two prower plants went offline. With more than 1GW of power lost from the system, National Grid had to reduce the load and cut some customers off. In total nearly a million people faced blackouts. But it could have been worse. Within seconds, a fleet of batteries prevented things from getting worse by pumping power into the system preventing a rapid drop off in transmission frequency. In this webinar we analyze the causes of the blackout, how can it be prevented going forward and what can other electric markets learn from the UK’s experience.

With regards to Bushvelds strategy of the creation of an electrolyte production facility in the East London Development Zone. Anybody know the international chemicals company that Bushveld Energy has engaged with that has already designed and built a vanadium electrolyte production plant with multiple annual capacity?
