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

At COP28 last week, 11 countries joined a global consortium aimed at securing 5GW of battery energy storage deployments in low or middle-income countries.

Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has been selected to carry out a battery storage pilot project, through a programme to increase electricity access funded by the World Bank.
