The use of battery energy storage in power systems is increasing. But while approximately 192GW of solar and 75GW of wind were installed globally in 2022, only 16GW/35GWh (gigawatt hours) of new storage systems were deployed.
Regulations and policies in developing countries do not incentivize the adoption of battery energy storage systems, but a new framework developed by the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) could unlock knowledge and capital. Across the globe, power systems are experiencing a period of unprecedented change.
The EU-funded MeBattery project aims to lay the foundations of a next-generation battery technology that will potentially help overcome the critical limitations of established flow and static battery systems in energy storage. The proposed battery technology will leverage the intrinsic benefits of a redox flow battery system.
Several business models can enable the monetization of hybrid projects that incorporate battery energy storage systems. The World Bank, through its Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), is actively working on mobilizing concessional funding for battery energy storage projects in developing countries.
Making energy storage systems mainstream in the developing world will be a game changer. Deploying battery energy storage systems will provide more comprehensive access to electricity while enabling much greater use of renewable energy, ultimately helping the world meet its Net Zero decarbonization targets.
The deployment of energy storage systems in developing regions holds the potential to revolutionize the energy landscape, but combined efforts between different institutions is pivotal in driving this essential shift towards sustainable energy solutions.
