Solar PV and wind are now the cheapest sources of power, with co-located hybrids increasingly delivering round-the-clock electricity at fossil fuel-competitive costs in high-resource regions, according to a new report by IRENA.  

The power generation arm of Manila Electric Company (Meralco), the Philippines’ largest private electricity distributor, has completed a grid-scale battery storage project.

After reporting a record 112GW of global non-pumped hydro energy storage installations in 2025, BloombergNEF (BNEF) expects to see a 41% increase this year.

Australia, India, Japan, and the Philippines are driving a transformation in the APAC batteryenergy storage market, says Trina Storage.

Trina Storage’s Warrick Stapleton discusses APAC’s shift to 500MWh+ BESS, open ecosystem approach, and Australia’s role as a regional testbed.

A 500MW/1,000MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) with grid-forming inverters has gone into commercial operation in Cambodia.

Large-scale renewable energy power plant developers in the Philippines have been instructed to integrate energy storage into their proposed facilities.

Vietnam is confronting barriers to energy storage deployment, setting an example for the wider ASEAN region, writes Sunita Dubey.

Chinese battery manufacturer EVE Energy has secured a contract with the Malaysian government to deploy an AC/DC integrated 36MWh solar-plus-storage system at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

A 100MW/400MWh BESS, the biggest project of its kind by output in Southeast Asia, has been welcomed into operation in Sabah, Malaysia.
