What is battery energy storage systems (Bess)?

The Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) segment is experiencing rapid growth in the ASEAN energy storage market, driven by declining battery costs and increasing renewable energy integration requirements.

How will Bess help Southeast Asia reshape the energy landscape?

By providing flexible, reliable, and scalable power, BESS enables Southeast Asia to overcome traditional infrastructure limitations and embrace a sustainable future. What role will BESS play in reshaping Southeast Asia’s energy landscape? Explore the insights here.

Where is Bess distributed in Southeast Asia?

BESS are expected to be distributed throughout Southeast Asia, mainly in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines . Accordingly, the research scope of this study was narrowed down to these five countries. 2.1. Indonesia

Why is Bess important in Southeast Asia?

Southeast Asian countries have pursued ambitious renewable energy development plans. BESS is essential to enhance power system flexibility in preparation for increasing VRE generation. To deploy BESS widely in Southeast Asia, it is crucial to understand the current status and future outlook of BESS markets.

Which country has the best Bess installed capacity?

The Philippines, having a moderate VRE share, shows the best BESS installed capacity. Indonesia has the largest economy and power market in Southeast Asia, and the BESS market is also the largest; however, its internal industrial factor’ score is low because the proportion of renewable energy generation is the lowest.

Does Thailand have a Bess project?

Through a pilot project, The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand—a state-owned electricity generation authority in Thailand—operated a BESS in the Mae Hong Son, Chaiyaphum, and Lopburi regions, which have a high share of renewable energy .
