There are a lot of battery announcements.
Yes. So many that a site of 1, 2, and 5 years ago in battery announcements would be useful. They don't have a battery installation. They have a press release that they signed a contract to do a battery installation. There's a difference.
The tech is still secret, other than being "aqueous air."
Did anybody ever get the "flow battery" thing to work well enough to be useful? That at least solves the capacity problem; you're limited only by tank capacity.

Right.
There's a web site: https://formenergy.com/ Stock photos and an onboarding funnel.
