As we move through this decisive decade for clean energy, Asia’s energy storage market is stepping firmly onto the global stage.

Two US-headquartered solar and sustainability-focused investors have launched GSSG Chikuden, a utility-scale battery storage developer, in Japan.

Invinity Energy Systems believes partnering with a Chinese materials and manufacturing company will enable significant cost reduction of its vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) technology.

Japan’s energy storage market is experiencing a wave of significant growth, as ESN Premium hears from Eku Energy and BloombergNEF.

June 2025 saw a total of 7.96GW/22.17GWh of grid-scale BESS enter commercial operations across 109 projects, with over half of that being in China, while the overall first half of the year saw substantial growth.

Tenders for 171GWh of energy storage capacity have been launched in India, including more than 55GWh in the first half of 2025 alone.

Renewable energy IPP ACME Solar has placed orders with two Chinese system integrators for battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in India.

Listing via the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is emerging as a key financing pathway for China’s energy storage players, writes Carrie Xiao.

With further penetration of solar and wind, grid-forming technologies will become an inevitable choice for the global power system.
