It goes without saying that battery energy storage systems (BESS) are mission critical for the energy transition to stabilise grids and dispatch variable sources of energy when consumers need it most. However, where exactly BESS development and deployment are at varies greatly across markets and countries with different challenges and opportunities in each. Our team was pleased to speak at both the Energy Storage Summit Australia and Energy Storage Summit Asia and dive into these very important topics with other industry experts from across the region. Sharing his key takeaway from ESS Asia, Achal Sondhi, Chief Investment Officer, shared: “As I’ve always said, we need a national BESS target per country. Once this is in place, the markets will find a way.” Thomas Schmitz, GM Energy Markets, added: “Currently, there are only a handful of BESS with four-hour capacity. The opportunity today is to develop and build them before the spot price signals that they are necessary. It is the curse of the current energy-only market that by the time the spot market sends the right price signals, the asset will be needed almost immediately. So you need to develop with foresight and in advance for batteries.” Thank you to Solar Media Limited ESS Asia and Australia for having us. We are looking forward to next year’s conversation already. #BESS #EnergyStorage #EnergyTransition #StorageSummit #BringingCleanEnergytoLife
