North asia battery energy storage policy document

Does ASEAN need enabling policies for energy storage?

However, ASEAN has many untapped markets for energy storage applications. Hence, to maximise the market potential and accelerate the low carbon transition in ASEAN, this policy brief recommends several enabling policies for energy storage.

What is battery energy storage technology?

Battery energy storage technology is the most promising, rapidly developed technology as it provides higher efficiency and ease of control. With energy transition through decarbonization and decentralization, energy storage plays a significant role to enhance grid efficiency by alleviating volatility from demand and supply.

Why is battery energy storage important?

Energy storage also contributes to the grid integration of renewable energy and promotion of microgrid. This handbook serves as a guide to deploying battery energy storage technologies, specifically for distributed energy resources and flexibility resources.

Which countries are excluded from battery production?

Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Singapore, Brunei are excluded due to limited battery demand, mineral reserves, and production output; 3. Thousands of metric tonnes (MT); 4. Based on company announcements where information on capacity output and start of commercial operations are known; does not account for delays and unrealized plans.

Is ASEAN a good place to invest in energy storage?

ASEAN has adequate policies to positively influence the attractiveness of energy storage through renewable energy investment, both on-grid and off-grid. However, ASEAN has many untapped markets for energy storage applications.
