One of the world’s major players in solar PV is also becoming a well-known name in the energy storage system (ESS) space.

CATL, the world’s biggest lithium-ion OEM, saw flat ESS revenues in the first half of the year, but the extent to which this can be blamed on the increased US-China tariffs, if at all, is far from clear.

The power generation arm of Manila Electric Company (Meralco) is developing its second large-scale battery storage project.

Aboitiz Power has kicked off a 30MW hybrid battery energy storage system (BESS) project in the Philippines.

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

Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd (CATL) has signed a framework supply agreement for a project to export renewable energy from Indonesia to Singapore.

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.

Indonesia’s national Consumer Protection Agency (BKPN) will coordinate at least US$1 billion in investment for off-grid solar-plus-storage.

A subsidiary of CATL and local partners have begun construction on a battery manufacturing complex in West Java, Indonesia.

A new partnership aims to deploy an integrated solution combining solar PV with sodium-ion batteries at commercial and industrial (C&I) sites in Southeast Asia.
