VRB Energy is a fast-growing, privately held clean technology innovator. The company has developed the most reliable,
longest-lasting vanadium flow battery in the world, with more than 500 megawatt-hours installed or in development worldwide,
and more than 1,000,000 hours of demonstrated performance.

between the VRB Energy products and the technologies developed and available through Huawei Digital Power. We are
looking forward to further communication between the companies and development of mutual business opportunities”.
