In 2007, there was a feasibility study published which examined the economics of installing a flow battery at Sorne Hill Wind Farm. While the economic case for the system was very compelling, the technology was not ready for deployment at that point in time. A new company, REDT (www.poweringnow.com), has retained the rights to the ESS site at Sorne Hill, and plans to install a utility scale system at some point in the future, subject to funding.
