Note: Li-ion batteries = By far the most common type of BESS (battery energy storage systems). 

Significant increases in battery prices due to commodity price inflation, supply chain constraints have forced California utility PG&E to increase the prices it will pay for 2GWh of battery storage projects.

“Explaining the move, PG&E said that after the contracts were executed developers brought “concerns regarding unprecedented changed market conditions which render the projects uneconomical””

We all know that VRFB are safer than Li-ion batteries which are flammable / explosive. However we also know that despite the fact that they actually come at a lower lifetime operational cost, the high upfront cost of VRFB in comparison to Li-ion's has been the main barrier to their market uptake. With the big increase in the upfront Capex investment required for Li-ion BESS  the future of VRFB looks great in general and even greater for Largo’s leasing options in particular. 

My 2-cts.
