Developer Oracle Power and China Electric Power Equipment and Technology (CET) are looking to develop and build a 1.3GW project combining solar, wind and battery energy storage system (BESS) technology in Pakistan.
The government of Bangladesh and potential investors into energy storage in the South Asian country were handed a European Union-funded roadmap for the technology’s development last week.
As energy system modernisation and decarbonisation progresses, energy storage could represent between 10% and 25% of India’s total installed power capacity by 2050, while other countries in South Asia including Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan also have “significant opportunities” for energy storage.
