ENERGY TRANSITION IN SOUTHEAST ASIA: SOLVING
Southeast Asia can look to Australia and Japan as examples of how to promote the adoption of energy storage systems (and, once the necessary regulations are in place, the potential speed
Leading 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.
Countries like Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand are leading the adoption of battery energy storage systems technology, with numerous projects under development. The technology's versatility in applications ranging from grid services to behind-the-meter installations for commercial and residential use is driving its adoption.
Indonesia's successful securing of a World Bank loan for developing pumped storage facilities exemplifies how government backing is facilitating large-scale energy storage projects.
It is on the brink of a battery energy storage (BESS) leap that could reshape its energy systems. The region's market is valued at around USD 3.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to approach USD 5 billion by 2030, expanding at 6 % CAGR. What began as scattered pilot projects is becoming a commercially competitive landscape.
