Energy Storage in South Asia: Understanding the Role of Grid
Scenarios for this study are designed to understand the drivers for energy storage investment and assess the potential role for energy storage on the South Asia power system.
View DetailsLeading the way for the region, Singapore launched the largest energy storage project in Southeast Asia in 2024. Coordinated by the Singapore Energy Board and invested and constructed by Singapore Sembcorp Group, the project is located on Jurong Island, Singapore's energy and chemical center.
By offering a reliable, scalable, and sustainable solution for energy storage, BESS presents an opportunity to meet both current and future energy needs while supporting the transition to a green economy. Conclusion Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are quickly becoming a key part of Southeast Asia's energy future.
The ASEAN bloc has set the targets of 23% renewable energy in its Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) and 35% renewable energy in ASEAN installed power capacity by 2025. This means that energy storage is required. Additionally, without BESS acceptance on a larger level, the needed funds won't materialise, and fewer BESS will be built.
However, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) bloc is falling behind in technology implementation due to a lack of awareness and policy initiatives. Of the 11 ASEAN members, Singapore is taking the lead in the battery energy storage systems (BESS) space.
