As Asia gears up for a shift to renewable energy, energy storage has come to the fore. But the transition to cleaner power can be a bumpy ride. To navigate the uncertain landscape, countries have to monitor trends in technology, costs and electricity markets closely.
The quest for a stable renewable energy supply to the power systems – whether or not there is sunshine or wind – is thus pushing countries to seek more resilient and affordable solutions. Energy storage is one enabler in driving global energy transition, by ensuring round-the-clock (RTC) power regardless of weather conditions.
By Ganesh Padmanabhan, Head of Project Finance, Jern Siew, Executive Director, Project Finance (Australia), and Suvro Sarkar, Senior Vice President, Group Research (Energy Sector), DBS Bank. As Asia gears up for a shift to renewable energy, energy storage has come to the fore. But the transition to cleaner power can be a bumpy ride.
Australia’s storage projects have historically focused on standalone BESS, but in recent years, there has been a rise in projects involving solar and wind coupled with BESS that are expected to be commissioned in the next two years.
To effectively address the intermittency challenge, while energy storage solutions such as BESS and RTC projects are key to addressing intermittency and ensuring a stable supply of renewable energy, there have to be more diverse revenue streams for storage providers.
As of 2022, BNEF estimates Australia had 1.4GW/ 3.5GWh of cumulative energy storage capacity (excluding pumped hydro), of which 60% is standalone and 40% paired. Such paired solar and BESS (RTC) projects are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37% by 2025, based on the data available.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
