As countries in the Asia-Pacific region strive to meet their energy needs while committing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the advancement of energy storage technologies has become a key focus area . Energy storage systems (ESS) play a crucial role in the transition to a low-carbon energy future.
Introduction The Asia-Pacific region, which is home to over 60% of the world’s population, is experiencing rapid economic growth and urbanisation. This growth has led to an increasing demand for energy, which, in turn, has highlighted the critical need for sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions.
The report provides practical guidance to policymakers and project developers on conducting initial feasibility assessments, selecting suitable business models, allocating risks appropriately, and navigating the competitive procurement process for solar-plus-storage projects.
In the near future, the governance of energy storage demands progressive evolution. This includes developing comprehensive regulatory frameworks that support deployment, ensure safety, and spur innovation. Policymakers must also consider the economic and social impacts of these technologies to foster inclusive and sustainable energy policies.
