Allegro Energy partners with Jena Batteries to commercialize flow battery technology

Type: Partnership · Technology: Storage · Country: Australia · Capacity: 60 MWh · Announced: 2026-08-24

Newcastle-headquartered Allegro Energy has entered a strategic partnership with Jena Batteries, a subsidiary of China-based Suqian Time Energy Storage, to accelerate the commercial deployment of Allegro's water-based redox flow battery technology. This partnership aims to move Allegro's non-flammable and cheaper flow battery technology from Australian innovation to globally scalable manufacturing. Jena Batteries, which develops and markets flow battery systems for industrial and utility applications, provides access to an established large-scale flow battery manufacturing platform. The collaboration will allow Allegro's electrolyte technology to be incorporated into gigawatt-scale energy storage solutions, with initial pilot flow battery systems to be deployed in Australia. This partnership establishes a bridge between Australian/New Zealand intellectual property and international manufacturing scale, without requiring Allegro to build manufacturing capability from scratch.
